Question

I want to put a h:commandLink in a h:dataTable to delete a single row. Here I have a code which does not work and I hope you can help me. This code doesn’t even call my delete method.
The data for the h:dataTable comes from a database.

XHTML

        <h:form>
            <div class="center">
                <h:dataTable id="list" value="#{firstBackingBean.list}"
                    var="first" styleClass="center">

                    <!-- other columns (take data from firstBackingBean) -->

                    <h:column>
                        <f:facet name="header" />
                        <h:commandLink value="delete" action="#{secondBackingBean.delete}" >
                            <f:ajax execute="@form" render="list" />
                            <f:param name="id" value="#{first.id}"/>
                        </h:commandLink>
                    </h:column>
                </h:dataTable>
            </div>
        </h:form>

FirstBackingBean

import javax.faces.bean.ManagedBean;
import javax.faces.bean.ViewScoped;

@ManagedBean
@ViewScoped
public class FirstBackingBean {
    public void delete() {
        System.out.println("\nBUTTON CLICKED\n");
    }
}

SecondBackingBean

import javax.faces.bean.ManagedBean;
import javax.faces.bean.SessionScoped;

@ManagedBean
@SessionScoped
public class SecondBackingBean {
    // ...
}

I’ve the answer!

I’ve 2 BackingBeans, the firstBackingBean needs the @SessionScoped annotation and the secondBackingBean needs the @ViewScoped annotation.

Thanks a lot for the other answers.
