Two points that have got me recently around using the Extended EL for tables with navigation links: 1. Your list still needs to be annotated with @DataModel for the extended EL to pass the object. Otherwise it will be null. 2. In your pages.xml your navigation rule must have the from-action the same as it is specified in your page link eg.<navigation from-action="#{hotelBooking.selectHotel(hot)}"> Cheers, Damian.
