f I look at the

I am using JSF 2 and Richfaces 3.3.3

The issue is that when I make a selection in the table this is not being set in the backing bean, the backing bean is defines as request scope ie.

<managed-bean>

        <managed-bean-name>customerBean</managed-bean-name>

        <managed-bean-class>beans.CustomerBean</managed-bean-class>

        <managed-bean-scope>request</managed-bean-scope>

</managed-bean>

     <f:facet name="header" >

          <h:outputText value="Customer Search Results"   styleClass="default-header" />

     </f:facet>

     <r:extendedDataTable id="customerTable"height="200px"

               value="#{customerBean.customerDataModel}"

               var="customer"

               selectionMode="single"

               selection="#{customerBean.customerSearchSelection}">

          <r:column sortBy="#{customer.internalRef}"  sortable="true" width="20%">

               <f:facet name="header">

                    <h:outputText value="Internal Reference" />

               </f:facet>

               <h:outputText value="#{customer.internalRef}" />

          </r:column>

          <r:column sortBy="#{customer.shortName}"  filterBy="#{customer.shortName}" sortable="true" width="40%" >

               <f:facet name="header">

                    <h:outputText value="Customer Name" />

               </f:facet>

               <h:outputText value="#{customer.shortName}" />

          </r:column>

          <r:column sortBy="#{customer.controllingTeamDescription}" sortable="true" width="40%" >

               <f:facet name="header">

                    <h:outputText value="Controlling Team" />

               </f:facet>

               <h:outputText value="#{customer.controllingTeamDescription}" />

          </r:column>

          <a:support event="onselectionchange"

                    reRender="customerDetailPanel"

                    action="#{customerBean.identifySelectedCustomer}" />

    </r:extendedDataTable>

</a:outputPanel>

</r:simpleTogglePanel>

If I look at the customerSearchSelection variable in the backing bean customerBean when the action is triggered it has a size of 0.

Any help would be much appreciated
