Not able to use Celltable for a requirement where I need different widgets under one column.

Hi all,

I am stuck here with a requirement which is mentioned as follow:

1)A table where one or more (for now just one) column need to have different widgets in editable cell.
               for example: Class is Plant having property: 'name' and access method: 'String getName()';
                                  Now if(name.equals("true") || name.equals("false"){
                                                         ---> Render CheckBox with respective checked value
                                         }else if(name.equals("~")) {
                                                       -----> Render ListBox with some predefined items
                                         }else {
                                                        ----->just render the String.
                                         }
2)The cell where we render just the String should be Editable (i.e on click textbox appear for edit), other than this other cells should be non-editable i.e cells for checkbox and listbox should be non editable,

You may find this requirement very unusual and I agree it is because here we dealing with raw xml/text kind of metadata.
Anyway I have given a lot of effort over this, but I am in a catch 22 situation if somehow I am able to attain 1 condition than I am have editable problem, if somehow I make that up, the valueupdater doesn't seem to work properly........................................

At last I am thinking that may be 'CellTable' API was never there for such kind of requirement. So FlexTable could be the answer.
Even if it is so there would be a lot of work for me then like -> implementing sorting(while click on header), pagination etc, it would be great if
some open source library is already there for it.                 

Thanks in advance
