Damar,
I would say yes, dataTable is the right component for that. I have at
some point done all three items which you wish to do. As for some
pointers... well there is this [1], though I have a table with
checkboxes, and I didn't need any javascript.

Hi,
I have the following snapshot of my page:
<h:selectOneMenu value="#{applicationProcess.courseTitle}">
<f:selectItems value="#{applicationProcess.courses}"/>
</h:selectOneMenu>
<t:dataTable var="applicants"
value="#{applicationProcess.applications}" border="1"
preserveDataModel="true">
<t:column>
<h:outputText value="#{applicants.firstName}"/>
</t:column>
……..
….
</t:dataTable>
<h:commandButton action="processSelectedItem" value="DoSomthing"/>
Basically, what I have to do:
(1) I choose the option in <selectOnMenu> option, and based on the
option chosen here, it brings in the relevant data in <dataTable>.
(2) The rows (records) displayed in <dataTable> has to be selectable,
possibly with check boxes, and
(3) After completing records selections in <dataTable>, I click
<commandButton>, which will trigger the event that processes the
selected records.
How do I do this? Is DataTable right component for this purpose? How
can I make record in dataTable selectable with checkboxes? Any
examples on this?
Any pointers would be highly appreciated.
With regards,
Damar
