How can I create tables Dynamically in a VisualForce

Question

Hi My situation is this:

I have a list of different objects and every object has different fields, How can I create N Different Tables in a visualforce page ??

Example. I have this list in an apex class controller

ObjectName----FieldName <br>
Account---------Name<br>
Account---------LastName<br>
Account---------address<br>
Case------------Name<br>
Case------------Status<br>

So, with this info I have to display two different tables in a visualforce page like this:

Account table<br>
Name----LastName----Address

Case Table<br>
Name----Status

In my project I may have even 10 different objects so, I would need 10 different tables created by themself in the visualforce, with different number of columns.

I have no Idea how to do this.. someone can help me and save my life???

One option would be to use Dynamic Visualforce Components to build up various apex:pageBlockTable in Apex. With this you can programmatically build up the required apex:column's and bindings.

Your Visualforce page will be something like:

<apex:page controller="DynamicController">
    <apex:dynamicComponent componentValue="{!dynamicPanel}"/>
</apex:page>

With a backing Controller class:

public with sharing Class DynamicController {
    public Component.Apex.OutputPanel getDynamicPanel() {
        Component.Apex.OutputPanel outPanel = new Component.Apex.OutputPanel();

        // Here you will build up the required dynamic components and add them to panel.

        return outPanel;
    }
}
