Hi all, I'm doing some pondering about bean scope and in particular if dataTable is working the way it's intended. I've tried both the myfaces and tomahawk dataTable entities and if they're filled with a request scoped bean wielding a DataModel putting a commandLink or button in the table to provide a detailed view of a row just causes a page reload rather than going to the action I specify. From a considerable amount of google it seems this is a feature of JSF, but I find that hard to believe, even if the RI is doing it too. I've also tried playing with binding and doing downright evil stuff in my faces-config.
So first off I apologize if this is a well trodden path in faces discussions. If you don't mind, how do others deal with this? I can't see making all the backing beans session scoped (though it works), and tobago's pageFlow stuff doesn't seem practical now (and I don't even know if it would help). Thanks much, Mike
