Hi Simon,
I apologize for the slow response, I was on vacation all last week and
just checked my email yesterday. I really appreciate your help, and
I've got some more questions if you wouldn't mind taking a look. My
responses are below in bold type.
No problem.
Actually, while writing up a response I thought it worth having a look
at the examples provided with MyFaces to see if there was a pre-existing
example of this.
There is. See "masterDetail.jsp" in the examples directory of the
myfaces source.
And the solution there is (in many cases) easier than using either a
DataModel or a binding:
<t:commandLink action="go_country" immediate="true" >
<h:outputText value="#{country.name}" />
<t:updateActionListener property="#{countryForm.id}"
value="#{country.id}" />
</t:commandLink>
For your app, using t:updateActionListener is probably the best
solution. It writes the current row object (or a field of it in this
example) into the backing bean associated with the details page.
Regards,
Simon
