    f:setPropertyActionListener not setting values to the backin

      Hi all,

      I had a data table in which i need to provide a button which on click should edit the current row. for doing that i had choosed f:setPropertyActionListener and used as shown

      <a4j:commandLink ajaxSingle="true" id="editlink"
       oncomplete="#{rich:component('editPanel')}.show()">
       <h:graphicImage value="/Images/edit.gif" style="border:1" />
       <f:setPropertyActionListener value="#{course}"
       target="#{manageCoursesBean.currentItem}" />
       <f:setPropertyActionListener value="#{row}"
       target="#{manageCoursesBean.currentRow}" />
       </a4j:commandLink>
      


      here 'course' is the var attribute of my datatble. i expected teh current selected row to be stored in current row. But it is storing null.

      Could anybody help me...?

      Thanks in advance

          As far as I see you showing us the code from richfaces-demo almost without modifications. And it works there. Seems need more details.

            Where do you access currentRow and currentItem?

            What is not stored: row key or item?

              To ilya_shaikovsky::
              Im customizing the richfaces demo pages to fit my requirements. I hope it should not be a wrong thing to use the demos provided by the richfaces for building applications.
              I apologize you haven’t identified any changes. Im just a tag user other than tag developer so you might have seen the same tags.

                bolded part is the code im expecting to set the current selected row in the sense the row on which user clicks to edit the current row.

                Here i assumed the code to set the 'current' value to the backing bean item 'currentItem' . Which is setting the value null.

                I hope im bit clear now...

                  code from demo could be freely used for sure :) And it designed for this :)

                  As about your problem.. I still see no difference with our case except that your page is jsp page and we using facelets.. But this should not be a reason. I'll forward this to QA in order to investigate.

                    and b.t.w. how about first Nick's question?

                    • 7. Re: f:setPropertyActionListener not setting values to the ba

                      Hello shivaji.byrapaneni,
                      I tried to reproduce issue, you described, it's not reproducible:
                      I have private Object currentRow;
                      and setter:

                      public void setCurrentRow(Object currentRow) {
                       if (currentRow == null)
                       System.out.println("current row is NULL");
                       else
                       System.out.println("current row:" + currentRow);
                       this.currentRow = currentRow;
                       }

                      When I click on 'editlink' following string output to console:
                      current row:5

                      My page code is similar with your, except I wraped <a4j:region> in f:view and h:form.
                      My configuration: Myfaces 1.2.5, richfaces 3.3.2-snapshot, tomcat 6.0.16
                      Thanks

                          my managed bean is also more or else having the same. Other than giving its as a object i gave it as a Entity Object.

                          here is the code

                          package com.managedbeans;
