Jdev 11.1.1.5 R1 How To Get Row Data From ADF Table

Question

Hi everyone,
I have an ADF Table Populated with dummy data (for now). Below the Table there is an InputText field.
What I need to do is have the body of the message show up in the InputText field when the user clicks on a message in the inbox(Table).
I've been trying to figure this out for quite some time now, unsuccessfully of course. Hopefully you guys can help me change that.
I do consider myself a beginner still, so please be as clear and specific as possible.
Thanks in advance!
Here is the code I have for the Table/InputText and Backing Beans
<tr>

<af:table value="#{TableBean.messageAll}" var="message"

try this code in selection method
RichTable object = (RichTable)selectionEvent.getSource();
Row row = null;
for (Object facesRowKey : object.getSelectedRowKeys()) {
object.setRowKey(facesRowKey);
Object o = object.getRowData();
JUCtrlHierNodeBinding rowData = (JUCtrlHierNodeBinding)o;
row = rowData.getRow();
}
