H:datatable vs x:datatable

Question

in myfaces i can do this after the user clicks on a link inside the table to get the row they clicked on.
(CastValue)request.getAttribute("domainNameTable");
I am starting a new project and it wont work, im wondering.... you cant do this with the reference implementation ?

Answer 1

public class Email {
    private String email;
    public Email(String email) {
        this.email = email;
    public String getEmail() {
        return email;
    public void setEmail(String email) {
        this.email = email;
}For the one that uses the Email class, I use this:
<h:dataTable value="#{emailTestBean.emails}"
                              var="email">
     <h:column>
          <f:facet name="header">
               <h:outputText value="Email Address" />
          </f:facet>
          <h:inputText value="#{email.email}" />
     </h:column>
     <f:facet name="footer">
          <h:commandButton value="Submit" />
     </f:facet>
</h:dataTable>Otherwise I don't need the extra ".email":
<h:dataTable value="#{emailTestBean.emails}"
                              var="email">
     <h:column>
          <f:facet name="header">
               <h:outputText value="Email Address" />
          </f:facet>
          <h:inputText value="#{email}" />
     </h:column>
     <f:facet name="footer">
          <h:commandButton value="Submit" />
     </f:facet>
</h:dataTable>
