Question

I am trying to implement table with users’ accounts, which can be modified by administrators. I use primefaces (2.2) DataTable component with cellEditor.

I have onRowEditListener which uses manageUsers.onEditRow() method to persist changes in database via UserDAO object.

After loading the page and updating table cell – data in database change properly. Unfortunately, when I am trying to update previous row again – (UserDAO)event.getObject(); returns old object (the one after first change) and data are not updated.

When I reload page (F5) and edit row – then data are changed properly.

How can I update table or how can I get the freshest version of user without reloading page?

Using Primefaces 2.2, JSF 2.1, Glassfish 3.1
