Populating a page from Data table in modal panel

Question

I'm trying to get some data from a datatable in rich:modal panel

The whole flow is as follows

• When clicking on search button on main page, a modal panel pops up with appropriate data & check box
• Till this point the application is working fine
• After clicking on ok button, selected data should be populated into main page. This is where the code fails

I tried stuff like getRowData, getValues, etc. but in vain. This could be done by keeping the bean in session scope but I have to keep this bean in request scope using Apache MyFaces JSF 1.2

Answer 1

Two ways comes to mind:

1. Pass an extra request parameter (the search string and the page number?) so that the bean knows which data to preload.

2. Make use of MyFaces Orchestra to create a conversation scope which lies in between request and session scope and is exactly the scope you're looking for this particular functional requirement.
