Seam 2.3 Final @DataModel & @DataModelSelection

[javacoryd]

We have a large Seam application we are porting to Seam 2.3 from 2.1.1.

In many of our pages we have this setup:

<rich:dataTable value="#{foundPersons}" var="searchResult">

     <rich:column>

      <s:link value="#{searchResult.someIdentifier()}" action="#{searchAction.selectPerson()}">

     </rich:column>

     .....

     More columns

</rich:dataTable>

In the action class we have:

@DataModel

private List<Person> foundPersons;

@DataModelSelection

private Person selectedResult;

Prior to the upgrade, when you clicked the link the @DataModelSelection was populated with the selected person when the selectPerson() method was called.  With Seam 2.3 it isn't populated.

Any hints as to why?

Thanks,

Cory.

I believe the problem is that the RichFaces 4 data table doesn't implement JSF UIData:

http://docs.jboss.org/richfaces/latest_4_0_X/javadoc/richfaces-components-ui/org/richfaces/component/UIDataTable.html

(org.jboss.seam.ui.component.UISeamCommandBase which only looks for instanceof UIData.)

Thanks for the update.

This makes sense as it does work if I use a h:dataTable rather than the rich alternative.
