selectOneMenu and dataTable - need each row returned.
I am loading a dataTable with multiple drop downs. Traditionally I would
use a data table to allow the user to do an action against one of the
rows, but in this case I allow them to pick something in each row that I
would like to have returned to me. My problem is I can't seem to figure
out how to get the data back into my program. I always get the last
drop down's value in my backing bean property 'temp' (which makes sense
given that it is the last loaded and I don't have any action buttons or
command links on each row).
I was hoping I could somehow have the list of selected values put into a
backing bean that has a String[].
<x:dataTable id="data" var="setting" value="#{PrinterCtl.settingList}"
rows="10">
<h:column>
<f:facet name="header">
<h:outputText value="" styleClass="header"/>
</f:facet>
<h:outputText value="#{setting.name}" styleClass="copy"/>
</h:column>
<h:column>
<f:facet name="header">
<h:outputText value="" styleClass="header"/>
</f:facet>
<h:selectOneMenu id="options_id" value="#{PrinterCtl.temp}">
<f:selectItems value="#{setting.option}" />
</h:selectOneMenu>
</h:column>
</x:dataTable>
Thoughts?

That did it Heath! Thanks for the idea. I didn't realize this, but if
I create a setting for the property specified in the value= attribute on
dataTable that it will 'set' the Collection when the request comes back
in. I guess I should have expected that being how I get all my other
fields data. This model rocks!!
Thanks, Aaron Bartell
<x:dataTable id="data"
var="setting"
value="#{*PrinterCtl.psList*}"

You should hook your menu's "value" attribute to your "setting" bean
and not to the bean containing the "settingList".
