DataTable + ModalPanel?

[rhephner]

I'm using a RichFaces DataTable to present data. When a row in the table is clicked, I'd like to present the user with a form inside of a modalPanel that asks for information specific to the row clicked. Here sis the code:

                                   <rich:componentControl event="onRowClick" for="assignmentPanel"                     operation="show">
<f:param value="#{match.nodeId}" name="nodeId"/>
</rich:componentControl>

Each row is a match object with a property of nodeId. If I can get the nodeId into the modalPanel, I can add it to the modalPanel Form data.

I'm referencing the nodeId within the ModalPanel as {nodeId}, but it isn't interpolating.

I'm using the example listed here: http://livedemo.exadel.com/richfaces-demo/richfaces/componentControl.jsf

as a guide.

Anyone have any ideas how I can get a parameter into a Modal Panel?

Thanks.

Have a look at this thread

It depends on whether you want to do it all on the client side or whether you don't mind an ajax call back to the server.
