Hey, back to this, if someone is interested, I found two options (as directed by Gavin)
1) using factory method for outjecting the selected entity, but since I already have too much factory methods I passed away 2) outjecting the selected object by handling the ID of the selected object as a parameter: 1) in the datatable list, add an '<f:param> tag, specifying the ID of the entity" 2) add under META-INF/pages.xml file the view-id of the page related for editing/handling the selected entity with an action on a bean to outject the selected entity by using '@RequestParameter("paramName') The 'blog' sample works with an MVC style and makes a usage of pages.xml and parameters, so you can take a look at it. Cheers.
