I want to display some audit info in a tooltip if a user clicks on any of the row cell of the table. For this I pass a unique parameter of that row cell, and make a ajax request. Here is the excerpt of the code.

<rich:dataTable id="rowList" var="record" value="#{backingBean.auditList}">
<rich:column width="0*" style="text-align:left;" >
<rich:toolTip showevent="onclick" mode="ajax" immediate="true" action="#{backingBean.auditInfo}">
<a4j:actionparam value="#{record.id}" name="auditId" />
<f:facet name="defaultContent">
Loading...
</f:facet>
//Output Audit Info here...
</rich:toolTip>
//Column detail/header comes here
</rich:column>

But when I click on a row cell, the ToolTip displays only default content. It doesnt make ajax call to backingBean.auditInfo method.

If I put same toolTip code block for some commandButton in a page, I get proper tooltip and also backingBean.auditInfo get ajax request call .

Can someone please let me know whether I am missing any flag thats stopping tool tip behavior within rich:dataTable.

thanks,
