Clickable links and request params in a dataTable

[M Burke]

I am new to faces. I want to build a table from a collection of objects, and make a link for each to open that item on a different form.

In the past, I added request parameters to my links to know which one is clicked. Like this: a href='view.jsp?row=1&col=1' then do a request.getParameter('row') in my servlet.

How do I do this equivalant in JSF? I can't even find any examples of a faces action even accessing the request object.

I'd recommend going through these tutorials: http://balusc.blogspot.com/2006/06/using-datatables.html
