[jboss-user] [JBoss Seam] - Getting an updated data model selection

[amitdk]

Hello,
I have a JSF page that allows one of the dataTable columns to be updated. However the selected row update to certain elements of a row doesn't seem to come through in the DataModelSelection. Is the DataModel not updatable? I would imagine it would be - however I always get the old value back in my session bean. 

Here's how the JSF page looks:

  | <h:form id="taskedit">
  | <a:log/>
  |    <rich:panel>
  | 	<h1>Your Weekly Tasks:</h1>
  | 	<h:outputText value="No tasks added for this week" rendered="#{weeklyTasks.rowCount==0}"/>
  | 	<rich:dataTable value="#{weeklyTasks}"																					
  | 					var="wtask" rendered="#{weeklyTasks.rowCount>0}"
  | 					onRowMouseOver="this.style.backgroundColor='#E0E0E0'"
  | 					onRowMouseOut="this.style.backgroundColor='#{a4jSkin.tableBackgroundColor}'">
  | 		<a:support event="onRowDblClick" action="#{report.updateTask}" reRender="taskedit"/>
  | 		<rich:column rendered="#{not report.taskEditable}">
  | 	        <f:facet name="header">Assigned Task</f:facet>
  |        		<h:outputText value="#{wtask.comments}"/>
  | 		</rich:column>				
  | 		<rich:column rendered="#{report.taskEditable}">
  | 	        <f:facet name="header">Assigned Task</f:facet>
  |        		<h:inputTextarea rows="5" cols="80" value="#{wtask.comments}"/>
  | 		</rich:column>
  | 	    <rich:column>
  |                <f:facet name="header">action</f:facet>		    
  | 	        <s:button action="#{report.saveTask}" value="Save Task" />
  | 	    </rich:column>				
  | 	    <rich:column>
  |                <f:facet name="header">action</f:facet>		    
  | 	        <s:button action="#{report.removeTask}" value="Remove Task" />
  | 	    </rich:column>
  | 	</rich:dataTable>
  |    </rich:panel>
  | </h:form> 
  | 
Here's how the session bean looks:

  | @Stateful
  | @Name("report")
  | @Scope(ScopeType.SESSION)
  | public class ReportBean implements Report, Serializable
  | {
  |     private static final long serialVersionUID = 8545529442081579216L;
  | 
  |     @PersistenceContext(type = PersistenceContextType.EXTENDED)
  |     EntityManager entityMgr;
  | 
  |     @In
  |     User user;
  | 
  |     @DataModel
  |     List<TaskAssignment> weeklyTasks;
  | 
  |     @DataModelSelection
  |     private TaskAssignment selectedTask;
  | 
  |      .............
  | 
  |     @Factory("weeklyTasks")
  |     public void showTasks()
  |     {
  |         weeklyTasks = entityMgr
  |                 .createQuery(......).setParameter(..).getResultList();
  |     }
  | 
  |     // Here's the method I expect to get the updated comments
  |     public void saveTask()
  |     {
  |         System.out.println( selectedTask.getComments() );
  |         .............
  |     }
  | 
On a double click on a row on the dataTable, the comments field becomes editable, however the submit and corresponding invocation of saveTask does not give me the latest edited value.

Is there something I am missing here in terms of how you capture an edited row value? 

Any help is appreciated.
Thanks
