I just got my code to work. I still can't explain the spectacular errors and visual effects like duplication of my dataTable, but I managed to avoid the problem.
The key was not to discard the old instance of HtmlPopup and create a new one on every render. i.e. these lines: this.getChildren().clear(); // we only want one popup this.getChildren().add(popup); I changed my code to check if my component already has children and if it does, resuse them. This made my page work properly. Anyone understand why it wasn't working when a new instance of HtmlPopup was created every time?
