When I started to convert this code for my JSF app I found that I can use either <h:dataTable> or <h:panelGrid> because both are use here as an alternative of table in html.So first thing which I want to ask is what should I use here?
2ndly how can I handle <thead> , <tfoot> and <tbody>as I didn’t find their alternate in JSF.So please can anyone put some effort to help me for this
Thanks

    <h:dataTable> is a good choice if you have (in your backing bean) a set of objects you need to display. For example if you have a List of object Employee (with Id, Name, Surname, etc.) then is the best choice.

    Here you can find an example of how to use dataTable.

    <h:panelGrid> is a good choice if you have layout various elements in an certain way. One case, is when you have to split the space in two columns of 80% and 20% respectively.
    Though, ‘I’ suggest to use (panelGroup) for this purpose see http://www.w3.org/2002/03/csslayout-howto

    Edit: With the <h:dataTable> For the header, footer, etc. you have to use the tag <f:facet />
