primefaces - edit row without one cell

Question

I have dataTable with row editing, but i dont need to edit one of my cells (user.username). How can i do this in primefaces? Is this possible? I try remove p:cellEditor for one cell but it does not work on my tablet because when I use this in a DataTable, this column is empty.

Thanks!

my code:

<h:form id="form">
        <p:growl id="messages" showDetail="true" />
        <p:contextMenu for="dataTable">
            <p:menuitem value="Delete" update="dataTable" icon="ui-icon-close"
                actionListener="#{userMB.deleteUser}" />
        </p:contextMenu>
        <p:dataTable id="dataTable" var="user" styleClass="DataTableUsers"
            value="#{userMB.userList}" paginator="true" rows="5"
            rowKey="#{user.user_id}" selection="#{userMB.selectedUser}"
            selectionMode="single" filteredValue="#{userMB.filteredUsers}"
            editable="true"
            paginatorTemplate="{CurrentPageReport}  {FirstPageLink} {PreviousPageLink} {PageLinks} {NextPageLink} {LastPageLink} {RowsPerPageDropdown}"
            rowsPerPageTemplate="5,10,15">
            <p:ajax event="rowEdit" immediate="true" listener="#{userMB.onEdit}"
                update=":form:messages, :form:dataTable" process="@this" />
            <p:column sortBy="name" filterBy="name" id="name" headerText="Name">

Answer 1

Just change the component that holds the user.username value to <h:outputText>

<h:outputText value="#{user.username}" />

and you will have the value read-only.
