How to set values in a CoreTable programmatically from a backing bean

Question

Hi,
One of the columns in my CoreTable is "af:inputText" field, I need to set the value of inputText field in each row from a backing bean.
I have bound this table to a component in the bakcing bean and in the setMyCoreTable method I'm also preselecting certain rows. For all the preselected rows I need to set a value in the inputText field.
Can someone point me to some code samples or give me some ideas to solve this.
Thanks

Thanks dvohra,
I looked at the post you suggested yesterday, but I wasnt sure how I can implement that in my case.
Since Im programatically preselecting certain rows in the setMyCoreTable method(which is the accessor method), I was hoping I could prepopulate the input text field as well in the same method.
For your reference below is the code from jspx and the backing bean.
<af:table value="#{bindings.ProgramComponentList.collectionModel}"
var="row"
rows="#{bindings.ProgramComponentList.rangeSize}"
first="#{bindings.ProgramComponentList.rangeStart}"
emptyText="#{bindings.ProgramComponentList.viewable ? 'No rows yet.' : 'Access Denied.'}"
selectionState="#{bindings.ProgramComponentList.collectionModel.selectedRow}"
selectionListener="#{bindings.ProgramComponentList.collectionModel.makeCurrent}"
binding="#{backing_EditProgramBean.compsTableComponent}">
<af:column sortProperty="Name" sortable="true"
headerText="#{bindings.ProgramComponentList.labels.Name}">
<af:outputText value="#{row.Name}"/>
</af:column>
<af:column sortProperty="Description" sortable="true"
headerText="#{bindings.ProgramComponentList.labels.Description}">
<af:inputText value="#{row.Description}" simple="true"
required="true"
columns="30"/>
</af:column>
<f:facet name="selection">
<af:tableSelectMany id="tableSelectMany1"/>
</f:facet>
</af:table>
CODE FROM BACKING BEAN ---------
public void setCompsTableComponent(CoreTable compsTableComp) {
ManageProgramsServiceImpl serviceImpl =
(ManageProgramsServiceImpl)JSFUtils.get("#{bindings.ProgramDetailIterator.dataControl.dataProvider}");
ViewObject searchProgramView = serviceImpl.findViewObject("SearchProgramView");
Row currProgram = searchProgramView.getCurrentRow();
ViewObject view = serviceImpl.findViewObject("ProgramComponents");
view.setWhereClause("ProgramsComponents.PROGRAM_ID = " + currProgram.getAttribute("ProgramId"));
view.executeQuery();
view.setRangeSize(view.getRowCount());
view.executeQuery();
Row[] programComponents = view.getAllRowsInRange();
RowKeySet rks = new RowKeySet();
ViewObject compTypesView = serviceImpl.findViewObject("ProgramComponentList");
compTypesView.setRangeSize(compTypesView.getRowCount());
compTypesView.executeQuery();
Row[] compTypes = compTypesView.getAllRowsInRange();
for (int i = 0; i < compTypes.length; i++) {
String code = compTypes.getAttribute("Code").toString();
for(int j=0; j<programComponents.length; j++){
String programCode = programComponents[j].getAttribute("ComponentType").toString();
if(programCode.equalsIgnoreCase(code)){
rks.getKeySet().add(compTypes[i].getKey());
compsTableComp.setSelectionState(rks);
List li = compsTableComp.getChildren();
System.out.println("****** li : " + li.size());
//System.out.println("****** row count : " + compsTableComp.getRowCount());
//System.out.println("****** count : " + compsTableComp.getRows());
this.compsTableComponent = compsTableComp;
The table children size(li.size()) comes up as zero and [compsTableComp.getRowCount()] gives an exception. Can you please provide any help. Seems like Im off track with this whole thing.
Thanks
