DataTable with checkbox multiple selection not firing

[crazy.8]

I have the following code and the backing bean methods for selection never get called, is there a way to make this an instant ajax event that updates a list every time you select/un-select a check box?

Code: Select all

<p:dataTable id="currEvent" var="currEvent" value="#{emailController.events}" paginator="false"
                                             selectionMode="multiple"
                                             scrollable="true" height="500"
                                             resizableColumns="true"
                                             dynamic=""
                                             selection="#{emailController.selectedEvents}">
                                    <f:facet name="header">
                                        Current Events
                                        <p:commandButton id="submit" update="displayMulti" value="Get Registrants" oncomplete="multiEventDialog.show()"/>
                                    </f:facet>
                                    <p:column selectionMode="multiple"/>
                                    <p:column headerText="Begin Date" style="width:105px">
                                        #{currEvent.begDate}
                                    </p:column>
                                    <p:column headerText="End Date" style="width:105px">
                                        #{currEvent.endDate}
                                    </p:column>
                                    <p:column headerText="Location Name" style="width:295px">
                                        #{currEvent.name}
                                    </p:column>

                                </p:dataTable>

Backing Bean snipplet:

Code: Select all

private EventObj[] seleectedEvents;
/**
     * @return the selectedEvents
     */
    public EventObj[] getSelectedEvents() {
        return selectedEvents;
    }

    /**
     * @param selectedEvents the selectedEvents to set
     */
    public void setSelectedEvents(EventObj[] selectedEvents) {
        this.selectedEvents = selectedEvents;
        
    }

Which version of PrimeFaces are you using? Also have a look at viewtopic.php?f=3&t=1194 to see what information you should include in your posts

In Tag:
<p:commandButton id="submit" update="displayMulti" value="Get Registrants" oncomplete="multiEventDialog.show()"/>
plase insert the property --> type="button"
or don't insert it and use a actionListener. I can't get what you're trying to do exactly. Maybe further discriptions are helpful.

update="displayMulti" --> does a container with id displayMulti exist?

Furthermore in my opinion you should decide whether do make selection by rowClick or by checkoxes.

rowKey is missing!!! (Cost me 6 hours to find that out myself!!!. Showcases does not point this out, only the docs! :-(:-(
