As a work around, if you are using facelets you could use c:forEach to
generate new column components during the facelet build. I haven't
used it yet, so not sure if it would work, but have you tried
<tr:iterator>? If it works, the view may be something like:

<tr:table value="#{rows}" ...>
  <tr:iterator value="#{columns}" ...>
    <tr:column>
  </tr:iterator>
</tr:table>

Like I say, I have no idea if this would work, but worth a shot or at
least a look in the code for the DesktopTableRenderer
