TableSelectOne keeping state and initialising default

Question

I have a simple table and tableSelectOne to select a row.
How can I set the first row to be defaulted and the state kept when the page is refreshed?
Heres the table in the JSP:
<af:table emptyText="#{wsfmsgs.tableNoItems}" rows="6" banding="row"
bandingInterval="1"
value="#{addressView.addressModel}"
var="addressVO" width="100%" inlineStyle="text-align:left"
binding="#{addressView.tableUI}" >
<f:facet name="selection">
<af:tableSelectOne />
</f:facet>
<af:column sortable="false"
headerText="#{UIMsgs.Address_tableHeader_addresses}">
<af:outputText value="#{addressVO.addressString}"
inlineStyle="font-weight:bold;"/>
</af:column>
</af:table>
the backing bean is:
* Address container for session attributes
public class AddressView
implements DataModelListener,
Serializable {
//~ Static fields/initializers ---------------------------------------------
/** Serial version UID */
private static final long serialVersionUID = 2034165318346211679L;
//~ Instance fields --------------------------------------------------------
private AddressVO instance;
private transient DataModel addressUsageModel;
private List addressVOs;
private UIXTable tableUI;
//~ Constructors -----------------------------------------------------------
* Creates a new AddressView object.
public AddressView() {
super();
usageTypes = new ArrayList();
addressVOs = new ArrayList();
//~ Methods ----------------------------------------------------------------
public void setInstance(final AddressVO instance) {
this.instance = instance;
* Return the current address usage value object instance
* @return Address usage value object
public AddressVO getInstance() {
return instance;
public void setAddressModel(final DataModel addressModel) {
this.addressModel = addressModel;
public DataModel getAddressModel() {
if (addressModel == null) {
addressModel = new ListDataModel(addressVOs);
addressModel.addDataModelListener(this);
return addressModel;
public void rowSelected(final DataModelEvent dataModelEvent) {
final AddressVO rowData =
(AddressVO) dataModelEvent.getRowData();
if (rowData != null) {
setInstance(rowData);
* Return collection of address usages
* @return Collection of address usages
public List getAddressVOs() {
return addressVOs;
public void setAddressVOs(final List addressVOs) {
this.addressUsageVOWrappers = addressVOs;
this.addressUsageModel = null;
public UIXTable getTableUI() {
     return tableUI;
public void setTableUI(UIXTable tableUI) {
     this.tableUI = tableUI;
All the above works fine, and the state of which row was selected is kept when the user returns to the page.
However, how do I set the first row as selected by default.
Ive added the code      
if(tableUI != null) {     
tableUI.setRowIndex(0);
to within the setter of the table UI but this had no effect and in fact corrupted the table completly!
So how can I programmatically set the first row as selected?

Hi,
you could try
this.table1 = table1;
RowKeySet rks = new RowKeySet();
//access the binding for the first row
Row rw = <get the first row from teh binding>
rks.getKeySet().add(rw.getKey());
this.table1.setSelectionState();
