Af:Table retains rows selected and selection listener doesnt work

Question

Hi
I have a table with a list of objects passed to it to be rendered. When the user selects an object and clicks on the launch button above the table, it launches a new page and on the new page when the user clicks on cancel it brings back to the same page where the table is present. While coming back to this page, the row that was earlier selected by the user is highlighted and a click on the same row doesnt enable the selection listener. I have to click on some other row and then click the old row if I want to relaunch the old page
<af:table var="row" rowBandingInterval="0" id="tblProcedures" emptyText="#{dbProcedureMsg.TABLE_EMPTY_TEXT}"
summary="#{dbProcedureMsg.TABLE_SUMMARY_TEXT}"
value="#{pageFlowScope.db_provisioning_DeploymentProcedurePageModel.collectionModel}" filterVisible="false"
columnStretching="column:colDescription" rowSelection="single" width="99.7%"
selectionListener="#{pageFlowScope.db_provisioning_DeploymentProcedurePageModel.processSelection}">
There is one more table which behaves the same way. But other tables which are part of my application work correctly.
Any idea on what I might be doing wrong ?
Thanks in advance

Hi,
To be honest Million rows in excel its questionable for me
I would try to find alternate solution rather than killing ADF on client and then your DBA will call you for a urgent meeting. Even if you make it work with ADF, people will not going use it due to huge amount of data load.
What you can do is to call external report like Jasper, BIRT etc. etc. and provide option there to export to Excel based on your criteria (but million rows is again questionable)
OR
one idea is to give option at client side to request a report with button at af:TABLE toolbar ...then you can schedule a job at database server level using PL/SQL dbms_scheduler package with OS script to generate text file on server and FTP it to some machine.
Hope it help,
