Hi again, when looking at post [1] which seems to have had my problem the main difference I find is that the @Factory annotation is used to initialize the List backing the datamodel. In my test app I initialize the List backing the datamodel via the performSearch action(which rerenders the page with the table to select from), could that be why @DataModelSelection doesn't work properly for me?
