Hi, I also need this possibility, and enjoyed to see that it was possible to do it. However, what I tried doesn't work. Like Mathias said, I try to use the "first" property of the dataTable, binding it to a backing bean attribute. The problem is that I have a ClassCastException when accessing it :
10:05:55,118 INFO [STDOUT] java.lang.ClassCastException: fr.edic.cormag.view.datastructure.StockData 10:05:55,118 INFO [STDOUT] at javax.faces.component.UIData.getFirst(UIData.java:723) 10:05:55,180 INFO [STDOUT] at org.apache.myfaces.component.html.ext.HtmlDataTable.getFirst(HtmlDataTable.java:324)". I thought that the type of the backing bean attribute for the "first" property should be the same as the data row displayed in the dataTable (in my case : StockData), but it seems not ... So my question is : what is the type of the backing bean attribute to bind the "first" property of a dataTable component ?

You can use binding for this. You have to store this value somewhere and by using a value binding for the first property of the datatable it is possible to provide an inital value (your stored value) for that: <x:datatable ... first="#{data.first}" binding="#{data.datatable}"> </x:datatable> Regards, Mathias Michael Hartman schrieb: > I have a page displaying data using both the x:dataTable and > x:dataScroller tags.
