Hello,
I have a JSF page that allows one of the dataTable columns to be updated. However the selected row update to certain elements of a row doesn't seem to come through in the DataModelSelection. Is the DataModel not updatable? I would imagine it would be - however I always get the old value back in my session bean.

Here's how the JSF page looks:

<h:form id="taskedit">
<a:log/>
 <rich:panel>
 <h1>Your Weekly Tasks:</h1>
 <h:outputText value="No tasks added for this week" rendered="#{weeklyTasks.rowCount==0}"/>
 <rich:dataTable value="#{weeklyTasks}"
 var="wtask" rendered="#{weeklyTasks.rowCount>0}"
 onRowMouseOver="this.style.backgroundColor='#E0E0E0'"
 onRowMouseOut="this.style.backgroundColor='#{a4jSkin.tableBackgroundColor}'">
 <a:support event="onRowDblClick" action="#{report.updateTask}" reRender="taskedit"/>
 <rich:column rendered="#{not report.taskEditable}">
 <f:facet name="header">Assigned Task</f:facet>
 <h:outputText value="#{wtask.comments}"/>
 </rich:column>
 <rich:column rendered="#{report.taskEditable}">
 <f:facet name="header">Assigned Task</f:facet>
 <h:inputTextarea rows="5" cols="80" value="#{wtask.comments}"/>
 </rich:column>
 <rich:column>
 <f:facet name="header">action</f:facet>
 <s:button action="#{report.saveTask}" value="Save Task" />
 </rich:column>
 <rich:column>
 <f:facet name="header">action</f:facet>
 <s:button action="#{report.removeTask}" value="Remove Task" />
 </rich:column>
 </rich:dataTable>
 </rich:panel>
</h:form>

Here's how the session bean looks:

@Stateful
@Name("report")
@Scope(ScopeType.SESSION)
public class ReportBean implements Report, Serializable
{
 private static final long serialVersionUID = 8545529442081579216L;

 @PersistenceContext(type = PersistenceContextType.EXTENDED)
 EntityManager entityMgr;

 @In
 User user;

 @DataModel
 List<TaskAssignment> weeklyTasks;

 @DataModelSelection
 private TaskAssignment selectedTask;

 .............

 @Factory("weeklyTasks")
 public void showTasks()
 {
 weeklyTasks = entityMgr
 .createQuery(......).setParameter(..).getResultList();
 }

 // Here's the method I expect to get the updated comments
 public void saveTask()
 {
 System.out.println( selectedTask.getComments() );
 .............
 }

On a double click on a row on the dataTable, the comments field becomes editable, however the submit and corresponding invocation of saveTask does not give me the latest edited value.

Is there something I am missing here in terms of how you capture an edited row value?

Any help is appreciated.
Thanks
