Hello,

i'm having some problems with the rich:subTable. I'm getting a list of container objects with some attributes and a list of locked database entries. So i wrote a xthml with a rich:dataTable containing a rich:subTable:

<rich:dataTable value="#{containerList}" var="cont">
  <rich:column colspan="6">
    <h:outputText value="#{container.name}" />
  </rich:column>

  <rich:subTable value="#{cont.lockedEntries}" var="entr" >
    <rich:column>
      <f:facet name="header">
        <h:outputText value="#{messages['css.header.col.id']}" />
      </f:facet>
      <h:outputText value="#{entr.id}" />
    </rich:column>

    ... 4 more columns ...

    <rich:column>
      <f:facet name="header">
        <h:outputText value="#{messages['css.header.col.actions']}" />
      </f:facet>
      <s:link action="#{containerManager.selectLockedEntry(entr)}" />
        <h:graphicImage value="img/unlock.png" />
      </s:link>
    </rich:column>
  </rich:subTable>
</rich:dataTable>

in my backing bean i have the following code:

@Stateful
@Scope(ScopeType.CONVERSATION)
@Name("containerManager")
public class ContainerListManager implements ContainerListApiLocal
{
  @DataModel(value = "containerList")
  private List<Container> m_containerList;

  @Out(value = "selectedContainer", required = false)
  @DataModelSelection(value = "containerList")
  private Container m_selectedContainer;

  @In(value = "selectedLockedEntry", required = false)
  @Out(value = "selectedLockedEntry", required = false)
  private LockedEntry m_selectedLockedEntry;

  @Override
  public void selectLockedEntry( LockedEntry lockedEntry )
  {
    m_selectedLockedEntry = lockedEntry;

    if ( m_selectedLockedEntry != null )
    {
       m_logger.info( "Selected Entry: " + m_selectedLockedEntry.getName() );
    }
  }

  @Factory("containerList")
  @Override
  public void initContainerList()
  {
    if ( null == m_containerList )
    {
      // Load Container...
      m_containerList = getAllContainer();
    }
  }

  @Override
  public List<Contaienr> getContainerList()
  {
    return m_containerList;
  }

  ...
}

on my page all containers with their locked entries are displayed fine, but when i click on the link in the last column the parameter entr is always NULL in the method selectLockedEntry( LockedEntry lockedEntry ) in the backing bean.

how can i get the selected entry injected or passed through there? For a normal dataTable the solution above works fine in my application.

My Environment:

• Seam 2.2.0 GA


• Facelets


• RichFaces 3.3.2 GA


• jBoss 4.2.3 GA

Thank you very much!
Greetings Stefan
