I'm an idiot. I have since learned that getRowData is the correct method to use, and sure enough there is a ".getRowData()" on that line, after about 200 spaces, so I didn't see it.
Here's to using code formatters. ________________________________ From: Hannum, Daniel [mailto:[EMAIL PROTECTED] Sent: Wednesday, August 01, 2007 3:20 PM To: MyFaces Discussion Subject: Determining which row in a table was clicked (This relates to Trinidad/ADF, but may be of interest to general users) I have a table backed by a list. Each row in the table becomes a link and all the links fire the same action method in my backing bean. I would like a way to know which row in the list I clicked the link of <af:table value="#{bean.list}" var="row" binding="#{bean.table}"> <af:column> <f:facet name="header"><af:outputText value="Type"/></f:facet> <af:commandLink text="#{row.text}" action="#{bean.doSomething}"/> </af:column> </af:table> Now, I found some old code that will do it, but it blows my mind. It looks like this (assume that Foo is the class) In the Bean class public class Bean { private List<Foo> list; public String doSomething() { Foo selectedItem = (Foo)table; .... } .... } That's right. You simply cast the CoreTable to the type of the list element and it magically gives you the one that was selected. Now I watched it happen in the debugger, but I still don't believe my eyes. Shouldn't that have caused a ClassCastException because CoreTable and my Foo class are unrelated classes? Am I crazy? Is that really the correct way to do this? Thanks.
