    Well my approach with jQuery is this :

                <p:column >
                <h:selectBooleanCheckbox onclick="highlight(this)" />
            </p:column>

    Create .highlighted class in your CSS file:

    .highlighted {
    background-color: red;
}

    And finally actual function:

              function highlight(param) {  
            var row = jQuery(param).parent().parent(); //children() available as well
                row.toggleClass('highlighted');
          }

    You just get the row of the clicked checkbox and handle assigning of the CSS class. Straight and simple.

    EDIT: Of course number of .parent() depends on your html elements composition. Edited the function to fit on your case, I’ve tried it with different composition of elements.
