Hi,
Is the backing bean in session scope or Request scope? If you have the backing bean in request scope, the bean will be re created after your search. Not sure, if this makes sense Vinaya ________________________________ From: m4rkuz [mailto:[EMAIL PROTECTED] Sent: Tuesday, September 09, 2008 10:25 AM To: MyFaces Discussion Subject: Problem with h:commandLink in t:dataTable Hi Everyone, I have a little big problem, I got a CRUD like app, in the main form I have a data table that shows the result of a query and every row has a link to jump to the edit page, everything works fine, until I try to go to the next page h:commandLink action="#{backingBean.edit}" with the selected row so I can edit it, the problems kicks in when I remove a line of code that I have in the getObjectList method objectList = manager.findAll(); I remove it because I need that the main page doesn't show anything until the search button is clicked, after this modification the links stop working, I cannot get to the nex page, in Debug mode I see I don't even get to the edit() methond in the backing bean, is like the bean is recreated before the action of the h:commandLink kicks and then the table data and the row are null so they don't fire any event :S The BackingBean scope is Request (it work with session scope but I don't think is necesary to hold on that bean for a whole session ) and I have try with <f:param , <f:attribute, <f:setPropertyActionListener all works untill I remove that line.... What Can I do?? Code below.. <t:dataTable id="perfilesTable" width="100%" border="0" rows="20" cellpadding="5" cellspacing="1" value="#{backingBean.objectList}" var="selectedRow" rowClasses="row1, row2" headerClass="tableHead"> <t:column> <f:facet name="header"> <h:outputText value="Perfiles"/> </f:facet> <h:commandLink action="#{backingBean.edit}" value="#{selectedRow.name}" actionListener="#{backingBean.editAction}"> <f:attribute name="attributeName1" value="#{selectedRow}" /> </h:commandLink> </t:column> <t:column> <f:facet name="header"> <h:outputText value="Active"/> </f:facet> <h:outputText value="#{selectedRow.active}"/> </t:column> </t:dataTable> PD: I'm totally sory I post this same question in a ongoing thread I just forgot to clear the subject Marcus V.
