I have a question about updating variable inside dataTable component, which was sended to dialog component.

I want to have dialog box with options. There are informations about user (user data editing).
ManageUsers class have UserDAO selectedUser property, UserDAO class contains User POJO (login, email etc).
ManageUsers.updateUser persists data in database.

How can I update selectedUser through inputText?
I can not use p:inplace component because I have a problem with h:forms and facelets (changing to production stage does not resolve this problem).

Glassfish: 3.1
Primefaces: 2.2
JSF: 2.1 (now MyFaces 2.1.3) 

<h:form prependId="false"> 

   <p:growl id="growl"/>

   <!--            Data table with all users-->
   <p:dataTable id="userTable" var="u" value="#{manageUsers.users}"> 

      <p:column headerText="login" style="width:150px" filterBy="#{u.user.login}" filterMatchMode="contains"> 
         <h:outputText value="#{u.user.login}" />
      </p:column> 

      <p:column headerText="email" style="width:150px" filterBy="#{u.user.email}" filterMatchMode="contains"> 
         <h:outputText value="#{u.user.email}" /> 
      </p:column>

      <p:column headerText="apikey" style="width:150px" filterBy="#{u.user.apikey}" filterMatchMode="startsWith"> 
         <h:outputText value="#{u.user.apikey}" />
      </p:column>

      <p:column headerText="Options" > 
         <p:commandButton update="display" oncomplete="userDialog.show()" 
                      image="ui-icon ui-icon-search"> 
            <f:setPropertyActionListener value="#{u}" target="#{manageUsers.selectedUser}" /> 
         </p:commandButton> 
      </p:column> 

   </p:dataTable>   

   <!--            Dialog box with options-->
   <p:dialog appendToBody="true" header="User Detail" widgetVar="userDialog" resizable="false" 
           width="500" showEffect="explode" hideEffect="explode" onCloseUpdate="growl,userTable"> 
      <h:panelGrid id="display" columns="2" cellpadding="4"> 

         <h:outputText value="Login" />
         <p:inputText  required="true" value="#{manageUsers.selectedUser.user.login}" />

         <h:outputText value="Email" />
         <p:inputText  required="true" value="#{manageUsers.selectedUser.user.email}" />

         <p:commandButton value="save and exit" action="#{manageUsers.updateUser}" update="growl,userTable" onclick="userDialog.hide()" />

      </h:panelGrid> 
   </p:dialog>

</h:form>

    PROBLEM RESOLVED. Setters was not fired. I don't know why, but when I remove appendToBody="true", then setters work perfectly. Anyone know why?

    The setters weren’t fired because setting appendToBody to true might cause the dialog to be out the form component.From the Primefaces User Guide (3.0.M4):

        Use appendToBody with care as the page definition and html dom would be different, for
example if dialog is inside an h:form component and appendToBody is enabled, on the browser
dialog would be outside of form and may cause unexpected results. In this case, nest a form inside
a dialog.
