DataTable row selection

[Peter Braun]

Hi!

I have a simple problem but I'm a beginner in JSF so I couldn't solve it.
I have a DataTable with a link (or a button) on each row. If the user clicks on it, I would like to show the details of the selected row on an other page.

My problem is I can't pass the id of the row to an action. Actually I don't know how to do that, or what is the good solution.

I know it must be a very basic problem, but I didn't find any examples or tutorials which show how to do this particular thing.


Thanks in advance,
Peter

hey peter

take a look in this thread

This example shows exactly how you can pass the rowIndex or whatever you want to you action/actionListener method

Thanks for your help!

Recently have I found some good example related to table row selection in this book:
JavaServer Faces By Hans Bergsten: Chapter 10 / Processing Row-Specific Events
http://www.oreilly.com/catalog/jsvrfaces/toc.html

It helped me, so I thought it's worth considering.

Thanks again.

I am trying to do something similar to the original poster. How would you apply the information in Leonardo's response to get the original poster's intended results?
