Not sure. It seems like it should work. I have dataTables nested
inside of dataLists.
One thing I do differently is bind my UIData components to the backing
bean and ask for the data directly, ie,
<h:dataTable binding="#{bean.childUIData}" value="#{p.childModel}" var="c">
transient private UIData childUIData;
// getters & setters for the above
Child c = (Child) childUIData.getRowData();

I really appreciate the suggestions I've received, but I'm wondering
if anybody has any other suggestions as to how I can overcome my
difficulties. There's definitely an issue when nesting dataTables
like this, whether it's MyFaces or Tomahawk dataTable. How do other
people try to show heirarchical data? Assuming JSF isn't going to do
what I want it to what's a work around?
Thanks much, sorry that I'm so frustratred with this,
Mike
