    DataTable Editing using Rich Modal Panel causing problem

    kapil29

      Hi,

       

       

      I have the datatable which displays the values from the database table. The datatable have the action column for editing and deleting the records. On clicking on edit link we are displaying the rich modal panel with the existing records exists in the database for that row using the form fields (i.e. for Input Text components, etc). When clickin on edit link i am setting those values in my bean class's properties.

       

      Now what i am facing the issue is, once i click on the update button inside the modal Panel, i am calling the action method which will update the same in the database table. but in this case my bean properties which i set while clickin on edit link returns the null values for all those properties.

       

      Please find the below code.
