How to disable/enable h:datatable

I have a page with a h:selectOneMenu and a data table. I want to load/render/enable my h:datatable based on what I select in the h:selectOneMenu. Is this possible?

Here's some code

<tr class="portlet-table-body" >
<td width="20%" class="porlet-padding-left"><h:outputText value="${operatorProgramBundle.NextGenerationWorkflow}" /></td>
<td width="450px">
    <h:selectOneMenu id="ngw" styleClass="portlet-dropdown"  value="${CRUDOperatorProgram.selectedNextGenWorkflow}">
        <f:selectItems value="${CRUDOperatorProgram.nextGenWorkflowList}" />
    </h:selectOneMenu>
</td>


<h:dataTable id="DispatchConfigurationCustom" columnClasses="portlet-table-same portlet-table-cell"
headerClass="portlet-table-same portlet-table-cell" value="#{CRUDOperatorProgram.workflowConfigList}" var="workflowConfig" width="100%" >
<h:column>
    <f:facet name="header">
        <h:outputText value="Include" />
    </f:facet>
    <h:selectBooleanCheckbox id="includeInd" value="#{workflowConfig.isIncludedInd}"/>
</h:column>
<h:column>
    <f:facet name="header">
        <h:outputText value="Automate" />
    </f:facet>
    <h:selectOneRadio id="onOff" value="#{workflowConfig.isAutomatedInd}">
        <f:selectItem id="onButton" itemLabel="On" itemValue="0" />
        <f:selectItem id="offButton" itemLabel="Off" itemValue="0" />
    </h:selectOneRadio>
</h:column>
</h:dataTable>

Given that you're using JSF 2.x, just use <f:ajax> in the dropdown to update the closest parent of the datatable and let the rendered attribute of the datatable evaluate true or false accordingly depending on the selected item.

Assuming that you'd like to show the datatable only when item value "foo" is selected, do so:

<h:selectOneMenu value="#{bean.selectedItem}">
    <f:selectItems value="#{bean.availableItems}" />
    <f:ajax render="table" />
</h:selectOneMenu>

<h:panelGroup id="table">
    <h:dataTable rendered="#{bean.selectedItem == 'foo'}">
        ...
    </h:dataTable>
</h:panelGroup>
