ExtendedDataTable : cannot clear selection on reRender
Hi. I have modified the ExtendedDataTable example on my local development environment to implement a "Select Capital button". When a user selects a row in the ExtendedDataTable and then click on the "Select Capital" button, the selected capital should appear in the "selectiontable" datatable and the selected capital should disappear from the ExtendedDataTable on the left-hand side. Furthermore, all the items in the ExtendedDataTable should NOT be shown as selected.
However, I can only get the first part working (that is, the selected capital shows up in the data table in the right hand side and disappears from the ExtendedDataTable on the left), but the ExtendedDataTable has the next item shown as selected after re-rendering.
What I found was that in the "takeSelection" method in the ExtendedTableBean.java, getSelection().getKeys().hasNext() returns false after I did "setSelection(new SimpleSelection());", which means that the selection has been cleared. But somehow when ExtendedDataTable is re-rendered again, the item below the item that was previously selected would appear selected.
Any help is appreciated. Code and configurations can be found below.
