title: What the h:column tag inside of a h:dataTable yields #{foo.boo}?
body: <p>New to JSF, I try to display a list of data. In a JSP file, I have the following</p>
  
  <pre><code>&lt;!DOCTYPE HTML PUBLIC "-//W3C//DTD HTML 4.01 Transitional//EN"
  "http://www.w3.org/TR/html4/loose.dtd"&gt;
  &lt;%@ page contentType="text/html;charset=windows-1252"%&gt;

  &lt;%@ taglib uri="http://java.sun.com/jsf/core" prefix="f"%&gt;
  &lt;%@ taglib uri="http://java.sun.com/jsp/jstl/core" prefix="c"%&gt;
  
  &lt;html xmlns = "http://www.w3.org/1999/xhtml" xmlns:h = "http://java.sun.com/jsf/html"&gt;
  
    &lt;head&gt;      
      &lt;title&gt;A title&lt;/title&gt;
      &lt;link href="../css/menu.css" rel="stylesheet" type="text/css"/&gt;
      &lt;link href="../css/tabs.css" rel="stylesheet" type="text/css"/&gt;
      &lt;script language="JavaScript1.2" src="../javascript/coolmenus4.js" type="text/javascript"&gt;&lt;/script&gt;
      &lt;meta http-equiv="Content-Type" content="text/html; charset=iso-8859-1"/&gt;        
    &lt;/head&gt;
  
  &lt;body&gt;
  
      &lt;f:view&gt;
          &lt;h:dataTable value="#{someBean.someItemClassList}" var="foo"&gt;
  
          &lt;h:column&gt;
            &lt;f:facet name="header"&gt;Some Thing&lt;/f:facet&gt;
            #{foo.boo}
          &lt;/h:column&gt;
  
          &lt;/h:dataTable&gt;
      &lt;/f:view&gt;
    &lt;/body&gt;
  &lt;/html&gt;
  </code></pre>
  
  <p>I can't see any syntax errors in the above.</p>
  
  <p>The managed bean is something like</p>
  
  <pre><code>public class SomeClass {
  
    private List&lt;SomeItemClass&gt; someItemClassList;
    ....
  
    public List&lt;SomeItemClass&gt; getSomeItemClassList(){ ...}
  }
  </code></pre>
  
  <p>On the page, the part is shown as</p>
  
  <pre><code>Some Thing #{foo.boo} 
  </code></pre>
  
  <p>but not the data itself.</p>
  
  <p>What is missing?</p>
  
  <p><strong>Update:</strong></p>
  
  <p>I thought I missed a declaration xmlns:f="http://xmlns.jcp.org/jsf/core in the JSP file. Adding it doesn't change any output.</p>
  
  <p><strong>Update 2</strong></p>
  
  <p>The problem was caused by using the class name instead of what the class name defined in the faces-config.xml file.</p>
