      public interface DataTable<HEADER,ROW,FOOTER>

  Interface representing a data table.

  Each table consists of its header, row and footer. Those should be page fragments, which will be then returned as a properly initialized objects.

  It is solely on the end user how the implementations of the HEADER, ROW or FOOTER would look like.

  For example HEADER page fragment can provide encapsulated filtering or sorting table services.

  Note 1: Table does not take into account pagination. Thus one has to switch to a different page manually in order to access all rows. All indexes used by methods are relative to one page.

  Note 2: that one can use `org.richfaces.fragment.common.NullFragment` as a Null Object pattern for any of the generic types.
