after browsing your mail archives, i've found the following post
"Well, in ancient times dataTable did not work for inputComponents either, so the code has been added to dataTable, but for dataList nobody ever complained ;) thanks for the patch, regards, Martin On 5/4/05, [EMAIL PROTECTED] <[EMAIL PROTECTED]> wrote:
Yes it does, but it does not use <h:column> sub components to wrap the nested components and the dataTable implementation assumes this. Therefor the dataTable component overwrites the processDecodes() method correctly. This is also were I got the code from. I guess the other methods were simply forgotten. After adding the code to the component it does work correctly for me. "
so is it actually possible to use inputfield within a datalist or not ? because my datatable and some fields within grid are nested in a datalist
best regards, ben
