> At present a @DataModelSelection annotation (and similarly @DataModelSelectionIndex) can ONLY be used in a component when there is also an accompanying @DataModel annotation placed on a field or getter method of the same component.   The method getDataModelSelectionName() of org.jboss.seam.Component enforces this requirement.  However, it would be very useful if the @DataModelSelection annotation could also be used in a component which doesn't expose a DataModel via @DataModel.  It would allow the programmer to handle a data model selection in a different backing bean than the backing bean which exposed the DataModel, or put in other words, separate the data model generation from the selection event handling.
> If there are conceptual reasons against doing this, please document them in the Seam documentation.
> Workaround at present: Rather than using @DataModelSelection, inject the DataModel with "@In" into the component that should process the selection and get access to the selected row and selectionIndex via the injected DataModel.
