Without Seam, the <h:dataTable ..> uses a backing bean in the web container that implements a method like this public void selectFlight(ValueChangeEvent event) { | selectedPassengerFlight = (PassengerFlight) passengerFlightTable.getRowData(); | } and declares a UIData like this private UIData passengerFlightTable; | With Seam, the SFSB takes the role of the backing bean. As I understand it, the SFSB should not use UIData anymore, but rather @DataModel and @DataModelSelection (in my example selectedPassengerFlight). But how does the method selectFlight look like with Seam? View the original post : http://www.jboss.com/index.html?module=bb&op=viewtopic&p=4046548#...
