I don't understand your exact problem but I think you have:
user_name | user_password | some_value --------------------------------------- FOO | FOO | FOO --------------------------------------- FOO2 | FOO2 | FOO2 And you want Username | Password | Some Value --------------------------------------- FOO | FOO | FOO --------------------------------------- FOO2 | FOO2 | FOO2 You can do that by use the column attribute as: "lblusername:user_name, lblpassword:user_password, lblsomevalue:some_value" and than place the lbl.. in your properties file, so its good for internationalization too.
