Link to edit item of datatable

Hi!

I have a datatable connected to a List (that come from a DB). I want to put a link in the table to edit a row.

For example

ID | NAME | EDIT ICON
---------------------------
1 | TOTO | Icon
1 | TATA | Icon
1 | TITI | Icon

I want to click on the icon and this icon open me another JSP page where I can edit the data. In PHP I was using an HTTP post var and I the php file told me to edit an item with an ID. I've googled but I don't find anything interesting.

Can somebody help me, I'm stalled!!!

Thanks a lot! Your help is very appreciated!

I think you can do this:
put that icon into a link, when click on the link, you pick up the id of that row ( I save the id in a column that is not displayed and I find that Id with javascript) and put it into a form hidden field (which is mapped to your bean), then you launch your modalPanel, the id should be in your bean now.

Or if you actually go to a new URL, you can just add parameters to the URL, the parameter be the row id.

I was planning to use this option

But I don't know how to extract parameter from the url. I've search on the Internet but I don't find anything. Maybe I didn't look at a good site. Do you know how to extract parameter from the URL?

Thanks a lot!

FacesContext.getEnternalContect().getRequestParameterMap().
