Java Development Tools

I've a table with a variety of multi-row inputText components, most of them with the @row attribute set to 2.

However, one of these fields sometimes has verbose content. Is there a way to configure the InputText component to autosize itself (and the row) to a height that displays all the content without scroll bars? In other words, is there a way to set the text box/column/table so that the height of each row's text box auto-sizes to display all the content.

I'm aware that a brute force method would be to set the inputText's row attribute to 10; however, since most of the time the text will fit in 2-3 rows, setting it to 10 wastes a lot of real estate.

Have tried setting various properties without anl luck - here is the current definition of the InputText and the column that contains it:

<af:column sortProperty="Definition" sortable="true"
                         headerText="#{bindings.NamesBatchApproveVO1.hints.Definition.label}"
                         id="c9" width="450" inlineStyle="height:inherit;">
                <af:inputText value="#{row.bindings.Definition.inputValue}"
                              label="#{bindings.NamesBatchApproveVO1.hints.Definition.label}"
                              required="#{bindings.NamesBatchApproveVO1.hints.Definition.mandatory}"
                              columns="#{bindings.NamesBatchApproveVO1.hints.Definition.displayWidth}"
                              maximumLength="#{bindings.NamesBatchApproveVO1.hints.Definition.precision}"
                              shortDesc="#{bindings.NamesBatchApproveVO1.hints.Definition.tooltip}"
                              id="it4"
                              rendered="#{row.bindings.Definition.inputValue != null}" simple="true"
                              wrap="soft" rows="3">
                  <f:validator binding="#{row.bindings.Definition.validator}"/>
                </af:inputText>
              </af:column>

Am using 11g.

Thanks for your help.
