rich:subTable object selection

[sw_bpel]

Hello,

i'm having some problems with the rich:subTable. I'm getting a list of container objects with some attributes and a list of locked database entries. So i wrote a xthml with a rich:dataTable containing a rich:subTable:

<rich:dataTable value="#{containerList}" var="cont">
 <rich:column colspan="6">
 <h:outputText value="#{container.name}" />
 </rich:column>

 <rich:subTable value="#{cont.lockedEntries}" var="entr" >
 <rich:column>
 <f:facet name="header">
 <h:outputText value="#{messages['css.header.col.id']}" />
 </f:facet>
 <h:outputText value="#{entr.id}" />
 </rich:column>

 ... 4 more columns ...

 <rich:column>
 <f:facet name="header">
 <h:outputText value="#{messages['css.header.col.actions']}" />
 </f:facet>
 <s:link action="#{containerManager.selectLockedEntry(entr)}" />
 <h:graphicImage value="img/unlock.png" />
 </s:link>
 </rich:column>
 </rich:subTable>
</rich:dataTable>

in my backing bean i have the following code:

@Stateful
@Scope(ScopeType.CONVERSATION)
@Name("containerManager")
public class ContainerListManager implements ContainerListApiLocal
{
 @DataModel(value = "containerList")
 private List<Container> m_containerList;

 @Out(value = "selectedContainer", required = false)
 @DataModelSelection(value = "containerList")
 private Container m_selectedContainer;

 @In(value = "selectedLockedEntry", required = false)
 @Out(value = "selectedLockedEntry", required = false)
 private LockedEntry m_selectedLockedEntry;

 @Override
 public void selectLockedEntry( LockedEntry lockedEntry )
 {
 m_selectedLockedEntry = lockedEntry;

 if ( m_selectedLockedEntry != null )
 {
 m_logger.info( "Selected Entry: " + m_selectedLockedEntry.getName() );
 }
 }

 @Factory("containerList")
 @Override
 public void initContainerList()
 {
 if ( null == m_containerList )
 {
 // Load Container...
 m_containerList = getAllContainer();
 }
 }

 @Override
 public List<Contaienr> getContainerList()
 {
 return m_containerList;
 }

 ...
}

on my page all containers with their locked entries are displayed fine, but when i click on the link in the last column the parameter "entr" is always NULL in the method "selectLockedEntry( LockedEntry lockedEntry )" in the backing bean.

how can i get the selected entry injected or passed through there? For a "normal" dataTable the solution above works fine in my application.

My Environment:
- Seam 2.2.0 GA
- Facelets
- RichFaces 3.3.2 GA
- jBoss 4.2.3 GA

Thank you very much! Greetings Stefan

Hey Ilya,

thanks a lot, i didn't thought about that. I changed the s:link in the subTable to h:commandLink and put all in a form... and voilà it works! :)

Greetings Stefan
