I want to do the following :

Based on the data being displayed for a current row in my table, I want to display the message "Unable to display data" instead of actually displaying the row data.

I thought that I would be able to modify the generated html by using startRow and endRow and just putting in jsp comments, for example in my TableDecorator I have the following :

public String startRow() {
    return "<%-- ";
}

public String endRow() {
    return "--%> Unable to display data.";
}

This however doesn't seem to work, since the data for that row is still displayed (along with my message). Is there something I'm missing, or is this not the correct approach to accomplish what I need?

Any help would be greatly appreciated.
