how to use iterationStatusVar in datatable

[sathyachand]

Do we need to do anything in managed bean apart from mentioning iterationstatus var in xhtml page for using them? .Because Im using it same as the example given in richfaces demo. but the numbers are not coming, at the same time its not throwing any error ?

Need help. thank you

Dear Sathya,

you need to execute the table to send the current index to your bean, EX :

<rich:dataTable id="userSearchTable"

                       value="#{yourList}"

                       var="row"

                       iterationStatusVar="status">

<h:column>

<f:facet name="header">

     <h:outputText value="header"/>

</f:facet>

<a4j:commandLink id="userDeleteLink"

                            render="@none"

                           execute="@this"

                            action="#{yourBean.doSome(#{status.index})}">

</a4j:commandLink>

</h:column>

</rich:dataTable>

your java method :

public void doSome(int rowIndex) {

     //etc

}

Thanks Ibrahim.

I think I need to modify the question to explain what is wrong on my side.

Inside datatable tag I used iterationStatusVar="it" and then

my code is like this

<f:facet name="header">

<rich:columnGroup>

<rich:column width="3%">#</rich:column>

<rich:column  width="5%">

<h:outputText value="Names" />

</rich:column>

</rich:columnGroup>

</f:facet>

<rich:columnGroup>

<rich:column width="3%"> #{it.index}</rich:column>

<rich:column  width="5%">

<h:outputText value="#{bean.name}" />

</rich:column>

</rich:columnGroup>

in the datatable rendered the rows under Names column is having values but the rows under # is empty.
