JSF, datatable and onRowClick

Question

Hi there,

I want a commandlink to be executed when the row is clicked in my datatable. I've created a <h:commandLink> in one of my columns, where a parameter is passed through <f:setActionPropertyListener/> Is there a clean solution to fire this link by a rowClick? Sure I could workaround my missing knowledge with some jQuery but there should be a cleaner way?

Answer 1

You can, using richfaces:

1. Define a <a4j:jsFunction>, with <a4j:actionparam> - the id of the row
2. onRowClick="functionName(#{item})"
