Dynamically disclose ShowDetail component

Question

I want to disclose a ShowDetail component based on some conditions of table, which is inside the showdetail.
<af:showdeail disclosed=#{backingBean.firstMethod}>
<af:table>
<af:column>
<af:outputText styleClass = "#{backingBean.secondMethod[row]}"/>
The second backing bean method will return a string as css style class based on the table's row data. Then first Method in showDetail will check if the style class exists, if yes, will show the table.
The problem is if disclosed property of showDetail is false. The second method (for table) never gets called because the table is hiding. If I set the disclose property to true, the second method gets called successfully, but the first method never gets called.
Thanks a lot!

Hi,
when a component has the style class set then you already passed the JSF invoke application phase and no more listener code is executed. Instead of looking at the component style class property I would look at the same condition that sets the style class property. You can access the selected table row from a selection listener and then determine the table row value to in the same listener set the disclose state
