It seems that with RichFaces 4.0.0 the selectedClass attribute of the rich:extendedDataTable component is not working.

It worked fine on RichFaces 3.3.3, but not I think it is simply ignored.

I tested it with this simple example:

<rich:extendedDataTable 
          id="edt"
          value="#{edtBean.items}"
          var="item"
          rows="5"
          selectionMode="single"
          selection="#{extendedDataTableBackBean.selection}"
          selectedClass="edtSelectedClass">
  
          <rich:column width="180px" >
                    <f:facet name="header">
                              <h:outputText value="Name" />
                    </f:facet>
                    <h:outputText value="#{item}" />
          </rich:column>
  
</rich:extendedDataTable>
 
 

The selected row class does change, but it gains the rf-edt-r-sel rf-edt-r-act classes, nothing about the one specified in the selectedClass.
