The issue, I'm guessing, is that I use a pattern, and thus it does not know if it's a date or a time that...

Add a row to h:dataTable via AJAX with request-scoped bean without losing the row data

I think the title tells it all: I want to add a row to dataTable over AJAX. The datatable has input fields where user can put text. As simple as that, a pretty common case.
