<h:dataTable> and SessionScoped beans

Question

Hi all!

Problem: searching for some more suitable design .

Goal: I want to have table of some user information and with button "change password" in column for each user, after click : "change password" button disappeared (rendered ="false") and a inputSecreat field appeared - user entering the password and submitting it (by clicking some additional button or by hotkey ). after submit - "change password" button papered as before.

my bean

import javax.annotation.PostConstruct;
import javax.ejb.EJB;
import javax.faces.bean.SessionScoped;
import javax.faces.context.ExternalContext;
import javax.faces.context.FacesContext;
import javax.inject.Inject;
import javax.inject.Named;
import javax.servlet.http.HttpServletRequest;
import java.io.Serializable;
import java.util.HashMap;

        </h:dataTable>
        <!--</f:ajax>-->
    </h:form>
</cc:implementation>
</body>
</html>

so I using my bean in column at :

                    <h:commandButton id="chps"  value="#{i18n.chpsqd_button}" rendered="#{!userSession.getPWRender(puser.id)}"
                            action="#{userSession.setPWrenerTrue(puser.id)}">
                            <f:ajax render="pswd chps"/>
                    </h:commandButton>

Question 2: what could be a better design for this situation ?

Question 3: Is it possible to listen to some events (onclick, ondbclick inside component tag ) for some component (inputSecret in my situation) if it steed as disabled=«true» ?

Thank you!

Answer 1

Change your scope to ViewScope, there is no need to keep UserSession class in SessionScope.
