I just started with JSF Seam. I have created a working page that searches for a program for a client. The result is displayed in a datatable. The data displayed in the table comes from a List of simple POJOs bound to the table. One of the columns has a commandLink that is bound to a method on the backing bean. The idea is to somehow make available the client id (String) and program id (Integer) associated with the row selected, set them on a "real" client object and make that available to the page to which I will navigate (which can vary based on the page from which the user arrived). I'm sure there are a few ways to do this, but would like a best practice if there is one. This client object will be required to continue being passed around the system until someone navigates back to the search and selects a new client and program. I have figured out the basics of how to use @Name on the client class and use an @Out and @In on the backing bean properties, just not how to make the two properties in the List available to set on it.
