Simon, Thanks for your quick response. Obviously I don't understand the rendering model sufficiently. This helps.
Yes, what I'm attempting does imply a tight coupling between the presentation and backing bean, but in this case the backing bean is actually used just for presentation and delegates to a more general backing bean. So I can live with this instance. Is there a preferred JSF pattern for communicating user selection of a dataTable row back to the server? I've found a number of somewhat crufty methods (such as on BalusC), but unless I've missed something, none seem particularly attractive other than f:attribute. But perhaps that's just the nature of the beast. Any suggestions?
