Af:iterator and getting values from a particular row

Question

Hi,
I am using af:iterator to loop through a resultSet in a VO.
<af:iterator binding="#{backingBeanScope.backing_subscribe.i1}"
value="#{bindings.SubscriptionPublicView1.collectionModel}"
var = "row"
id="i1">
For each iteration, I display a row of data from my VO in a panel box.
Each panel box has a command Link.
Usually, from my backing bean, I do something like this to get an attribute off of a view Iterator.
Row currentRow = getIterator("SubscriptionPublicView1Iterator").getCurrentRow();
int sid = (Integer)currentRow.getAttribute("Sid");
However, in this case, I am always getting the 'sid' from the first record in the collectionModel, and not the 'sid' that corresponds to the commandLink that is selected by the user.
What is the best way to do this when using an af:iterator?
Thanks,
Joel

Hi,
Timo - as usual - is correct. Using an iterator does not guarantee that selecting a row is set as current in the ADF binding. For this you need to use an action listener on the command component you click on. To get the rowKey of the selected row, you can use a setPropertyListener on the command link that writes the row key of the selected item into memory
<af:setPropertyListener from="#{row.key} to="#{viewScope.key}" type="action"/>
This value then can be looked up in the managed bean to set the row as current in the ADF binding
