Passing parameters to managed bean in a loop

[marek__222 <pa...@op.pl>]

Hello

I have a list of art works in a gallery. Everybody can see all works
(admireWork action), but only an author of a specified work is allowed to
edit it (editWork action). I want the [edit] link to appear only for the
authors, next to their works. I'm using rendered="#{workBean.allowEdit}, and
the problem is this: How can I let the workBean know, which work is now
being iterated? Can I pass a parameter to workBean every iteration, so it
can make a decision? I'm new to JSF and I don't really know how this should
be handled. Help would be appreciated.

<h:dataTable value="#{workBean.works}" var="w">
<h:column>                        
        <h:commandLink id="link" action="admireWork" value="#{w.name}"> 
        	<t:updateActionListener property="#{workBean.work}" value="#{w}"/>
        </h:commandLink>

        <h:commandLink id="linkEdit" action="editWork" value="[edit]"
rendered="#{workBean.allowEdit}"> 
        	<t:updateActionListener property="#{submitFileBean.work}"
value="#{w}"/>
        </h:commandLink>

</h:column>
<h:column>
...
</h:column>
</h:dataTable>
