Add "noDataLabel" to rich:dataTable for purposes of display a message if the dataTable is empty
-----------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------

                 Key: RF-4192
                 URL: https://jira.jboss.org/jira/browse/RF-4192
             Project: RichFaces
          Issue Type: Feature Request
    Affects Versions: 3.2.1, 3.2.0.SR1, 3.2.0, 3.1.6, 3.1.5, 3.1.4
            Reporter: Chris Simons
            Priority: Optional



An excellent, small addition to rich:dataTable would allow for a textual message to be displayed in the event that a dataTable is empty.

For example:
<rich:dataTable id="myTable" noDataLabel="#{messages['dataTable.noData']}" ....>  </rich:dataTable>

When the condition is true that the underlying data model or list is empty, the message would display in one row that spans the entire dataTable.  The headers and dataTable title would still remain.

Please vote for this issue if you would like to see this feature added.
