input text inside a datatable not updating

[JP Estrada]

Hi guys.. i need help here. I need to create a datatable with dynamic number of columns. this is m code for that:

public void createTableStructure()
{
table = new UIData();
Application app = FacesContext.getCurrentInstance().getApplication();

UIColumn col1 = new UIColumn();
UIOutput header = new UIOutput();
col1.setId("colCountry");
header.setValue("COUNTRY");
col1.setHeader(header);
ValueBinding vb = app.createValueBinding("#{dynamic.country}");
//HtmlOutputText out = (HtmlOutputText)app.createComponent(HtmlOutputText.COMPONENT_TYPE);
HtmlInputText in2 = (HtmlInputText)app.createComponent(HtmlInputText.COMPONENT_TYPE);
in2.setValueBinding("value",vb);
col1.getChildren().add(in2);

UIColumn col2 = new UIColumn();
UIOutput header2 = new UIOutput();
col2.setId("colCity");
header2.setValue("CITY");
col2.setHeader(header2);
ValueBinding vb2 = app.createValueBinding("#{dynamic.city}");
HtmlOutputText out2 = (HtmlOutputText)app.createComponent(HtmlOutputText.COMPONENT_TYPE);
out2.setValueBinding("value",vb2);
col2.getChildren().add(out2);

table.getChildren().add(col1);
table.getChildren().add(col2);

String[] arr = getTestArray();

for(int x = 0;x < arr.length ;x++)
{
UIColumn col = new UIColumn();
UIOutput h = new UIOutput();
col.setId("col" + x);
h.setValue(arr[x]);
col.setHeader(h);
ValueBinding vb3 = app.createValueBinding("#{dynamic.sectors[" + x + "]}");
//HtmlOutputText out3 = (HtmlOutputText)app.createComponent(HtmlOutputText.COMPONENT_TYPE);
HtmlInputText in = (HtmlInputText)app.createComponent(HtmlInputText.COMPONENT_TYPE);
in.setValueBinding("value",vb3);
col.getChildren().add(in);

table.getChildren().add(col);
}

}


I'm able to create this table and populate its contents, which are displayed inside input text boxes. But when i change the contents displayed in the inputTexts, everytime i submit the form, the contents change back to their original value. It doesn't reflect the changs i made.

What am i doing wrong here?

Ahh.. i got it. i shouldn't be using HtmlInputText.. I should use UIInput!
