ScrollabeDataTable selection not working.

[qwertywin]

Ok so this is starting to do my head in,

I can't get selection's to work, It seams that the form never submits when im doing a selection, so it is never set in my bean, when I do column sorting however, it makes the call and sets the selection to null.

<a:form >
<rich:scrollableDataTable id="portalLadderTable"
                                                                                             rendered="#{portalHome.ladders.size > 0}"
                                                                                                  value="#{portalHome.ladders}"
                                                                                                  var="_ladder"
                                                                                                  width="550px"
                                                                                                  height="160px"
                                                                                                  selection="#{portalAdmin.selection}"
                                                                                                  rowKeyVar="rkv"
                                                                                                  sortMode="single"
                                                                                                  frozenColCount="1"
                                                                                              >      
                                                                         <rich:column >
                                                                             <f:facet name="header">Ladder Name</f:facet>
                                                                            <h:outputText value="#{_ladder.ladderName}"/>
                                                                        </rich:column>                     
                                                                                                                                        </rich:scrollableDataTable>
                                                                    
                                                                                                </a:form>

and my bean

@Name("portalAdmin")
@Scope( ScopeType.CONVERSATION )
public class PortalAdmin {
     
     @In PortalHome portalHome;
     
     private Selection selection = new SimpleSelection();
     
     public Selection getSelection(){
          System.out.println("get selection");
          return this.selection;
     }
     
     public void setSelection( Selection selection ){
          System.out.println("set selection");
          this.selection = selection;
     }

}

I have been racking my brain for 3 days over this, still nothing, if anyone can point me in the right direction that'd be great.

sorry, properly formatted scrollableDataTable

<a:form >
     <rich:scrollableDataTable id="portalLadderTable"
               rendered="#{portalHome.ladders.size > 0}"
               value="#{portalHome.ladders}"
               var="_ladder"
               width="550px"
               height="160px"
               selection="#{portalAdmin.selection}"
               rowKeyVar="rkv"
               sortMode="single"
               frozenColCount="1" >      
          <rich:column >
               <f:facet name="header">Ladder Name</f:facet>
               <h:outputText value="#{_ladder.ladderName}"/>
          </rich:column>                     
     </rich:scrollableDataTable>                                                               
</a:form>

I'll take that as no-one knows

[scatudal]

Are you in a long running conversation?  That's what I would look into first.

[scatudal]

What I just said doesn't make any sense since richfaces can be used without Seam and I was talking about seam conversations.

I said that because I was trying to break some code so I could help you out. Removing the long running conversation did just that.

Hope it helps you out...

[qwertywin]

So I should be in a long running converstion?

I do not believe I am, so ill take a look and try it out tonight.

[qwertywin]

though I still believe this may be more of a richfaces issue, because the selection action is never submitted, during normal selection, only when reloading the page, or changing the sort order.

[scatudal]

What is the action called and how is it called?

[qwertywin]

selection="#{portalAdmin.selection}"

calls

     private Selection selection = new SimpleSelection();
     
     public Selection getSelection(){
          System.out.println("get selection");
          return this.selection;
     }
     
     public void setSelection( Selection selection ){
          System.out.println("set selection");
          this.selection = selection;
     }

when you make a row selection, but the call never happens...

lol ok totally stupid moment here

I had assumed that the form was submitted when ever a selection was made - thus being set

but I was totally incorrect, it is only when you use a button for instance, that the form is submitted, thus the selection set.

sorry for wasting your time.
