Hi…,

How do I hide the datatable column header(s) when there are no rows found to populate it. Once the response comes back with 0 rows, the page displays only the header .

The easiest way is to use JSTL-EL to filter the response. I usually use something like this to wrap my table creation code:

<c:if test="${not empty resultSet}">

    ... table creation code ...

</c:if>

…where “resultSet” refers to whatever data bean variable you have defined.

You could also add another statement that tests the alternative condition (i.e. the data set IS empty), and provide a message to the user stating “No rows returned.” or equivalent is you like.
