Hello together,

I have a DataTable with some lines of Incidents. Now I want to implement a context menu in which the user can edit or view the details of the selected line.
How can I do this? The problem is I outject the details object by a action method in an application bound IncidentHandler which has the id of the incident as parameter, loads the incident and outjects it to get viewed or edited in the related page.

So my question is, how can I call the method of the handler with the right id parameter?
Currently I'm using a s:button. Are there other ways to do this?

Heres my code. The incidentId parameter is in every case 0 (zero).

Any help would be apreciated.

Thx in advance

Ben

Handler:
@Name("incidentHandler")
@Scope(ScopeType.CONVERSATION)
public class IncidentHandler
{

    @In
    protected EntityManager entityManager;

    @In
    protected FacesMessages facesMessages;

    @Out
    private Incident        incident;

    @In(create = true)
    Failmessage             failmessage;

    @Begin(join = true, flushMode = FlushModeType.MANUAL)
    // @Begin(join = true, flushMode = FlushModeType.MANUAL)
    @Restrict("#{identity.loggedIn}")
    // avoids having to add login redirect logic in flow (see chapter 11)
    public String editIncident(Long incidentId)
    {
        Incident inc = entityManager.find(Incident.class, incidentId);
        if (inc != null)
        {
            this.incident = inc;
            return "loaded";
        } else
        {
            this.incident = new Incident();
            facesMessages.add("The incident with id ["+incidentId+"] was not found.");
            return "failed";
        }
    }
    
.....
}
