    Selection gives wrong key to backing bean

    nimoh

      Hello,

       

      I have am using a rich:extendedDataTable with ExtendedTableDataModel and a datascroller, and most things are working fine, but when I try to select a row on the second page, the key getting passed to my backing bean is from the corresponding row of the first page.  In other words if I select the first row of the second page, I get the key of the first row of the first page, and if I click on the second row of the second page, I get the key of the second row of the first page.

       

      I have tried just about everything I can think of, any help is appreciated.

       

       

       

      The relevant backing bean methods are as follows:

              • 4. Selection gives wrong key to backing bean
                nimoh

                The only difference I see is that your data scroller is in the footer of the table, while mine uses the "for" attribute.  Not sure if that would make a difference.

                 

                Anyway, since posting, I have gone a different route.  I am manually setting the selected row by passing the key of the selected row to a javascript function that sets it on the backing bean.  I am then waiting for this operation to complete before allowing the user to take action that would require the selection to be set on the backing bean.
