h:selectBooleanCheckbox with selection in p:dataTable

[Turjakas]

I would like to have additional checkboxes in p:dataTable columns to define boolean properties for the items,
but I also need single- and multi-row-selection in my dataTables.

Currently I'm trying to do something like this:

Code: Select all

                <p:dataTable
                    var="registry" value="#{registryBean.registries}"
                    paginator="#{registryBean.registries.size() > 5}" rows="5"
                    selection="#{registryBean.selectedRegistries}">
                  <p:column selectionMode="multiple">
                    <f:facet name="header">
                      <h:outputText value="Select" />
                    </f:facet>
                  </p:column>
                  <p:column>
                    <f:facet name="header">
                      <h:outputText value="Name" />
                    </f:facet>
                    <h:outputText value="#{registry.name}"/>
                  </p:column>
                  <p:column>
                    <f:facet name="header">
                      <h:outputText value="Prefer" />
                    </f:facet>
                    <h:selectBooleanCheckbox value="#{registry.preferred}" />
                  </p:column>
                </p:dataTable>

However, the problem is that p:dataTable seems to handle h:selectBooleanCheckbox the same way as the p:column selectionMode="multiple" -component, so that the rows get selected and unselected in a way that is not logical when clicking the checkbox in the "Preferred"-column.

Is there a way to combine row selection and checkboxes for other properties in p:dataTable?

I couldn't understand the problem, so when you check a checkbox in a non selection column, does it highlight the row, it shouldn't do that.

Yes. If I click the checkbox in the "Preferred" column, it will toggle the selection of the row. The corresponding property (registry.preferred) does get its value set correctly, so it is just the selection that is the problem.
