Any APIs or tools available to make web page tables highly configurable?

I am in the process of designing a financial web page (using Java, Wicket, JQuery..) where one of the page has around 5 tables and each table has around 10-15 columns.

These columns should be highly configurable that means some clients want to view/hide selected columns or some clients may want to see column name as different from other client.

I want to make this page highly configurable through some XML files or some other way and I do not want to change java related code for this.

Are there an开发者_开发技巧y APIs or tools available for controlling or configuring web page tables and columns?

• DataTables
• Flexigrid

Both of these are jQuery plugins that are very nice to use (I have utilized both). I believe DataTables should be able to do everything you are looking for (and quite a bit more). Check out both sites and see what you think.
