Toggling between single and multiple selection in a table

Question

I am working on ADF faces. I need to switch between single and multiple selection in <af:table based on a button I select.
I cannot use switcher or rendered property inside <af:table. Only the first one is rendering the second one is not rendering based on the switch
<f:facet name="selection">
<af:tableSelectMany autoSubmit="true"
rendered="#{treeBean.multipleRows}"/>
</f:facet>
<f:facet name="selection">
<af:tableSelectOne autoSubmit="true"
rendered="#{treeBean.singleRows}"/>
</f:facet>
When I use inside the switcher, it doesn't like the parent.
Any ideas would be greatly appreciated.
Thanks,
Vijay.

I have probably misunderstood what your issue is. I do not know what your version of ADF faces is. Here is some sample code working with my version. Please check if your jdev has "rowSelection" attribute. If it has, please try my sampe code
<jsp:root xmlns:jsp="http://java.sun.com/JSP/Page" version="1.2"
xmlns:f="http://java.sun.com/jsf/core"
xmlns:h="http://java.sun.com/jsf/html"
xmlns:afh="http://xmlns.oracle.com/adf/faces/html"
xmlns:af="http://xmlns.oracle.com/adf/faces">
<jsp:directive.page contentType="text/html;charset=utf-8"/>
<f:view>
<af:document title="tableSelectMany Demo">
<af:form>
<af:panelGroup layout="vertical">
<af:messages/>
<af:selectOneChoice value="#{sessionScope.tableSelection}"
autoSubmit="true"
id="selType"
label="Selection Type">
<af:selectItem label="Single" value="#{null}"/>
<af:selectItem label="Multiple" value="#{true}"/>
</af:selectOneChoice>
<af:table summary="Periodic table"
binding="#{tableActions.table}"
partialTriggers="selType"
rowSelection="#{sessionScope.tableSelection ? 'multiple' : 'single'}"
value="#{periodicTable.tableData}" var="row" rows="10">
<af:column>
<f:facet name="header">
<af:outputText value="Name"/>
</f:facet>
<af:outputText value="#{row.name}"/>
</af:column>
<af:column>
<f:facet name="header">
<af:outputText value="Symbol"/>
</f:facet>
<af:outputText value="#{row.symbol}"/>
</af:column>
<af:column>
<f:facet name="header">
<af:outputText value="Action Column"/>
</f:facet>
<af:commandButton immediate="true" text="Action"
