I want to just be able to use <h:outputText> rather than having to create a <h:dataTable>
<p>So I have</p>

<pre><code>&lt;h:dataTable value="#{sportBean.sportName}" var="item"&gt;
    &lt;f:facet name="header"&gt;
    &lt;/f:facet&gt;
    &lt;h:column&gt;
        &lt;div id="sportName"&gt;&lt;h:outputText rendered="#{item.sportName == 'Golf'}" value="#{item.sportName}" /&gt;&lt;/div&gt;
    &lt;/h:column&gt;
&lt;/h:dataTable&gt;
</code></pre>

<p>but rather than having to create a dataTable, I want to be able to just put it straight through outputText. I hope you guys understand?</p>
