Table row selection not working

Question

Hi,
I have a context node for a table of value nodes - APTDATES2 (  superclass CL_BSP_WD_CONTEXT_NODE_TV ),  bound to a custom controller context node,
which I am displaying via the following on the .htm  page :
  <chtmlb:configTable
                       xml                   = "<%= lv_xml %>"
                       id="appt2"
                       headerText = "Available Appointments"
                       navigationMode="BYPAGE"
                       table="//APTDATES2/Table"
                       visibleRowCount = "12"
                       allRowsEditable = "TRUE"
                       downloadToExcel = "FALSE"
                       personalizable = "FALSE"
                       onRowSelection        = "select"
                       selectionMode   = "<%= APTDATES2->selection_mode %>"
                       selectedRowIndex      = "<%= APTDATES2->selected_index %>"
                       selectedRowIndexTable = "<%= APTDATES2->selection_tab %>"
                       showNoMatchText = "TRUE"
                       width="100%"
                       visibleFirstRow       = "<%= APTDATES2->visible_first_row_index %>"
                       HEIGHT = "10"/>
My problem is that I cannot click in the left-hand column to select a row on the table - it is not  triggering any events (not even triggering a round-trip  - confirmed this by putting a break-point in the view implementation DO_HANDLE_DATA ).   Have similarly checked that APTDATES2->SELECTION_MODE
contains SINGLESELECT.
What am I missing ?

I am able to fix it using a managed variable for the selectionState. Here is the code:
<af:table emptyText="No items were found"
value="#{backing_UpdateResult.resultList}"
var="row"
rows="10"
binding="#{backing_UpdateResult.resultsTable}"
selectionState="="#{backing_UpdateResult.tableSelectionState}"
id="resultsTable"

In the backing bean I have a property variable like:
private RowKeySet tableSelectionState;
public RowKeySet getTableSelectionState() {
if (tableSelectionState == null) {
tableSelectionState = new RowKeySet();
tableSelectionState.getKeySet().add("0");
return tableSelectionState;
}
