I have a rich:dataTable working fine with data loaded from SFSB's action method. The first column in the datatable row has an has a link,

<a href="#" onclick="JavaScript:Richfaces.showModalPanel('panelId',{width:350, top:110})">details</a>

<rich:modalPanel id="panelId" minHeight="100" minWidth="350" height="100" width="350" zindex="6000">
   <f:facet name="header">
     <h:outputText value="Add New Fund" />
    </f:facet>
    <f:facet name="controls">
     <h:graphicImage value="./img/close.png" style="cursor:pointer" onclick="Richfaces.hideModalPanel('nf1')" />
     </f:facet>
     <ui:include src="Details.xhtml" />
</rich:modalPanel><br/> 

               
Details.xhtml is simple rich:dataTable.

This would show the as a modal panel. So far, its working but the requirement is that I need to call the SFSB's action method to load the DataModel for Details.xhtml before it pops out. How do I do that?

If it was the classic master-detail, then booking example suits fine with a redirect to Details.xhtml in pages.xml, but the detail for me, is in the popup and I DONT need a redirect.
