How to access the current row index in dataTable

[Robin Sharma]

Hi!

Is there a straightforward way to access the current row index while rendering a standard JSF dataTable component? I want to show the serial number for each row.

Is creating a binding to a bean the only way to do that?

Thanks.

Hi Robin, I had the same problem. If you use a Tomahawk dataTable you can the variable 'rowIndexVar' to get the row number, starting at zero. Here is how I print out my row numbers:

<t:dataTable rowIndexVar="row" value="#{someBean.value}">
<h:column>
<h:outputText value="#{row + 1}"/>
</h:column>
</t:dataTable>

Hope this helps!

What if i am using JSR-RI implementation with Icefaces.

what about the getRowIndex()-methode of your dataModel?

Hi,
Try this :
<ice:dataTable varStatus="status"

and then
#{status.index}
