Multiple row selection in ADF Table using addition column with checkbox

Question

I am using ADF table(Jdeveloper11g) and i want to selecte multiple rows it may be more than one OR all rows.
For that i added one Column to the table with Header Delete and checkbox
<af:table....
<af:column sortProperty="Delete" headerText="Delete" width="100"
sortable="false">
<af:selectBooleanCheckbox label="#{row.favoriteId}"
valueChangeListener="#{Mybean.onCheck}"
id="checkbox" autoSubmit="true">
</af:selectBooleanCheckbox>
</af:column>
</af:table>
backing bean:Here i added code to get Value of one column with id favoriteId and use an arrayList(listForDelete) to monitor the state of the checkboxes
public void onCheck(ValueChangeEvent valueChangeEvent) {
BindingContainer bindings = getBindings();
DCBindingContainer dcBindings =
(DCBindingContainer)BindingContext.getCurrent().getCurrentBindingsEntry();
DCIteratorBinding iterBind =
(DCIteratorBinding)bindings.get("getUserFavoritesByUserIDIterator");
if (iterBind != null && iterBind.getCurrentRow() != null) {
RichSelectBooleanCheckbox ch = (RichSelectBooleanCheckbox)valueChangeEvent.getSource();
if (!ch.isSelected()) {
Long issueId = (Long)iterBind.getCurrentRow().getAttribute("favoriteId");
listForDelete.add(issueId);
else
Long issueId = (Long)iterBind.getCurrentRow().getAttribute("favoriteId");
listForDelete.remove(issueId);
Problem is that when i select single row checkBox, onCheck() method of backing bean gets called multiple times(equals to the number of rows)
I think this is beacuse of <af:selectBooleanCheckbox id is same that is "checkbox" but i am not sure.Even i tried to assign some unique id but no any success in assigning Id with value Expression.
I also find related post
Re: ADF Table Multiple row selection by Managed Bean
but that is related to Select All rows or Deselect all rows from table.
From the simillar post i follow the steps given by Frank.but problem with below step
->have an af:clientAttribute assigned to the checkbox with the following EL #{row.key} ,here I added <af:clientAttribute name="#{row.key}"></af:clientAttribute> and i am getting error
Error(64,37):  Static attribute must be a String literal, its illegal to specify an expression.
Please let me know if any one had already implemented same test case.
Thanks for all help

Answer 1

just to update after the rollback is called in the cancel button i wrote following code which does not change the row focus to the first row
DCBindingContainer bc =
(DCBindingContainer)BindingUtils.getBindingContext().getCurrentBindingsEntry();
DCIteratorBinding profItr =
bc.findIteratorBinding("ProfileSearchInstIterator");
Row cRow = profItr.getRowAtRangeIndex(0);
if(cRow != null){
System.out.println("Current row is not null so fixed ");
profItr.setCurrentRowIndexInRange(0);
RowKeySetImpl rks = new RowKeySetImpl();
ArrayList keyList = new ArrayList();
keyList.add(cRow.getKey());
rks.add(keyList);
profileTable.setSelectedRowKeys(rks);
AdfFacesContext.getCurrentInstance().addPartialTarget(profileTable);
}
