Jenia's data multipleRowsSelector builds a list of the objects that
you are iterating over. So if your data table's value points to a list
of "MyObject" then the multipleRowsSelector will create list of
MyObject instances for each row that had the checkbox selected.
public class MyItem { ... }
public class MyBean
{
private List<MyItem> selectedItems;
private List<MyItem> allItems;
public List<MyItem> getSelectedItems() { return selectedItems; }
public void setSelectedItems(List<MyItem> selectedItems)
{ this.selectedItems = selectedItems; }
public List<MyItem> getAllItems() { return allItems; }
public String load()
{
// load all items here
}
public String onSubmit()
{
// put your code here
for (MyItem item : selectedItems)
; // do something with it
}
}
<t:dataTable
value="#{myBean.allItems}"
var="_item">
<t:column>
<jdt:multipleRowsSelector
selectionList="#{myBean.selectedItems}" />
</t:column>
<t:column>
<f:facet name="header">
<t:outputText value="Something" />
</f:facet>
<t:outputText value="#{_item.something}" />
</t:column>
</t:dataTable>
<t:commandLink action="#{myBean.onSubmit}"
value="Submit" />
As I mentioned, you don't want to work with IDs of the checkboxes.

but i dont get any checkboxes when i use :
<jdt:multipleRowsSelector selectionList="#{mybean.selectedItems}" />
To be more precise, plz find my datatable part:
<html xmlns:jdt="http://www.jenia.org/jsf/dataTools ">
-------
<
t:dataTable
value="#{MaintenanceBean.perfFeeMaintModel.perfFee}"
var="accountList"
id="perfFeeMaint"
rows="4">
<t:column>
<f:facet name="header" >
<h:outputText value="Number" ></h:outputText>
</f:facet>
<t:outputText value="#{accountList.id}" >
<f:param id="selectedRow"
name="id"
value="#{accountList.id}" />
</t:outputText>
</t:column>
<t:column>
<f:facet name="header" >
<h:outputText value="Account" ></h:outputText>
</f:facet>
<t:outputText value="#{accountList.account}" ></t:outputText>
</t:column>
<t:column>
<f:facet name="header" >
<h:outputText value="Performance Fee" ></h:outputText>
</f:facet>
<jdt:multipleRowsSelector selectionList="#{accountList.selectedPerf }" />
</t:column>
</t:dataTable>
I need the id for each checkbox that is selected by the user.. like in
regular HTML, i can do that by request.getParameterValues() and it gives me
an array..
Thanks for the help again...

Nimisha.
