JSF , DataTable, deletion question

Question

I have a collection of customer DTOs that are outputed using a datatabe. Each row has an Action column with a delete commandLink which points to my public deleteCustomer method. I have having problem with passing the customer id from the table to my method so that I can proceed with the deletion.
Any help is greatly appreciated.

Thank you guys. BalusC- great tutorial.
However... I am trying to edit my DataTable using the following example at the bottom of page 174.
[http://developers.sun.com/jscreator/learning/bookshelf/pearson/corejsf/datatables.pdf|http://developers.sun.com/jscreator/learning/bookshelf/pearson/corejsf/datatables.pdf]
I am able to edit on my page once I check the checkBox, but once I uncheck it no data is saved. It simply resets.
Here is my jsp code:
<h:dataTable value="#{Controller.custList}" var="list" border="1">
                     <h:column>
                           <f:facet name="header">
                            <h:outputText value="Select"/>
                        </f:facet>
                        <h:selectBooleanCheckbox value="#{list.isEditable}" onclick="submit()"/>
                      </h:column>
                      <h:column>
                        <f:facet name="header">
                            <h:outputText value="Identification"/>
                        </f:facet>
                        <h:outputText value="#{list.id}"/>
                      </h:column>
                      <h:column>
                        <f:facet name="header">
                             <h:outputText value="First Name" />
                        </f:facet>
                        <h:inputText value="#{list.firstName}" rendered="#{list.isEditable}" />
                        <h:outputText value="#{list.firstName}" rendered="#{not list.isEditable}"/>
                      </h:column>
                      <h:column>
                        <f:facet name="header">
                          <h:outputText value="Last Name" />
                        </f:facet>
                        <h:inputText value="#{list.lastName}" rendered="#{list.isEditable}" />
                        <h:outputText value="#{list.lastName}" rendered="#{not list.isEditable}"/>
                      </h:column>
                      <h:column>
                        <f:facet name="header">
                            <h:outputText value="Comments"/>
                         </f:facet>
                              <h:inputText value="#{list.comments}" rendered="#{list.isEditable}" />
                            <h:outputText value="#{list.comments}" rendered="#{not list.isEditable}"/>
                      </h:column>
                    </h:dataTable> Thanks again.
