</mobi:dataTable>

<ace:dataView value="#

"
            var="car"
            rows="10">
   // Column Definitions
   <ace:dataViewColumns value="#

" />                                                  
   or
   <ace:dataViewColumns> // ignore value if children present
       <ace:dataColumn value="#

" />
   <ace:dataViewColumns>
           
   // Detail Definition //
   <h:panelGrid columns="2">      
       <f:facet name="header">            
           <h:outputText value="#

" />
       </f:facet>
   
       Name:     <h:inputText value="#

" />
       Chassis: <h:inputText value="#

" />
   
       <f:facet name="footer">            
           <h:commandButton actionListener="#

"
                           value="Show/Hide Chart" />
       </f:facet>  
   <h:panelGrid>                                
   
   <ace:chart value="#

"
       xaxis="#

"
       yaxes="#

" />
</ace:dataView>

As mentioned above, there is no mixing of the column definition types. If use a programmatic model, the declarative child components are ignored.
