Try to use <h:selectOneMenu ...../> and populate it with Connection objects
stored in Session and select the appropriate one you want to set.

Subject: Re: set properties of
bean managed by dataTable tag

Please respond
to "MyFaces
Discussion"
That's not what I meant. I want to set the database connection property of
each Contact bean to a Connection object that is stored in sessionScope.
The Contact beans are stored in an ArrayList called contactList of the
allContacts bean. By using the <h:dataTable> I get a reference to each
contact bean stored in the contactList of my managed bean allContacts. So
I have a reference to each contact bean and now I want to set the database
connection property of each contact bean to the Connection object stored
in sessionScope.
First I though of specifying this in <faces-config> in the web.xml file
but I can't because the number of Contact beans stored in the contactList
of the allContacts managed bean aren't known in advance. This means I
can't make each Contact bean of the contactList a managed bean.
Greetings
