Hi,

i'm using richtfaces 3.0.0 (java 1.5, Tomcat 5.5)

Trying to create an datatable with 1 row, 1 column (with HtmlInput).
In future of course will be more rows and columns :)

My jsp

...
<h:form>
 <rich:dataTable binding="#{jobsBean.table}"/ >
 <h:commandButton action="back" value="Submit" />
</h:form>
...

My JobsBean

public class JobsBean
{
 private HtmlDataTable table = null;
 private List list = null;

 public class TestClass
 {
 String text;

 public String getText() { return text; }
 public void setText(String text) { this.text = text; }
 }

 public JobsBean()
 {
 this.list = new ArrayList();
 this.list.add(new TestClass());
 }

 public HtmlDataTable getTable()
 {
 return table;
 }

 public void setTable(HtmlDataTable table)
 {
 this.table = table;
 if (this.created == false)
 {
 createTable();
 this.created = true;
 }
 }

 private void createTable()
 {
 Application application = FacesContext.getCurrentInstance()
 .getApplication();

 this.table.setColumns(1);
 this.table.setVar( "job" );

 ValueBinding vb = application.createValueBinding("#{job.text}");
 HtmlColumn column = (HtmlColumn) application
 .createComponent(HtmlColumn.COMPONENT_TYPE);
 HtmlInputText input = (HtmlInputText) application
 .createComponent(HtmlInputText.COMPONENT_TYPE);
 input.setValueBinding("value", vb);
 column.getChildren().add(input);
 input.setImmediate(true);
 this.table.getChildren().add(column);

 ValueBinding value = application.createValueBinding("#{jobsBean.list}");
 this.table.setValueBinding("value", value);
 }

 public List getList() { return list; }
 public void setList(List list) { this.list = list; }

And ... nothing happens. If i entered the text into the editor and press button ... the page refreshed but the editor is empty.

Very interesting if i add the column and editor not from the bean, but simple in the jsp page, like

 <rich:dataTable binding="#{jobsBean.table}" var="job" >
 <h:column>
 <h:inputText value="#{job.text}" />
 </h:column>
 </rich:dataTable>

it works!
There is the difference between adding dynamicly (from the bean) and static (jsp)
