I am trying to learn PF so I started with displaying datatable first and navigating to next page on rowClick passing parameters, but got stuck with the following error. I found similar problem for that question but no luck yet. I hope somebody will help me out.
I am getting following error:
DataModel must implement org.primefaces.model.SelectableDataModel when selection is enabled.
Caused by:
javax.faces.FacesException - DataModel must implement org.primefaces.model.SelectableDataModel when selection is enabled.

public List<Car> getCars() {
cars = new ArrayList<Car>();

return "otherpage";//Does this nav works???if not how???
}
public Car getCar() {
return car;
}
@Override

// TODO Auto-generated method stub
return null;
}
@Override
public Object getRowKey(Car pArg0) {
// TODO Auto-generated method stub
return null;
}
}
OtherBean:
public class Car{
private String model;
private String randomColor;
public String getRandomColor() {
return randomColor;
}
public void setRandomColor(String pRandomColor) {
randomColor = pRandomColor;
}
public String getModel() {
return model;
}
public void setModel(String pModel) {
model = pModel;
}
}
The #{tableBean.cars}
must implement SelectableDataModel
if you don't specify the rowKey
attribute on the <p:dataTable>
.
You have however implemented it on the #{tableBean}
instead. This is not right. You can find correct examples in the PrimeFaces showcase. Basically, your TableBean
class must look like this according to the showcase code example:
@ManagedBean
@ViewScoped
public class TableBean implements Serializable {
private List<Car> cars;
private Car car;
private CarDataModel carsModel;
public TableBean() {
cars = new ArrayList<Car>();
// Populate cars here and thus NOT in the getter method!
carsModel = new CarDataModel(cars);
}
// ...
}
Where the CarDataModel
look like this (again, just copied from PrimeFaces showcase code example):
public class CarDataModel extends ListDataModel<Car> implements SelectableDataModel<Car> {
public CarDataModel() {
}
public CarDataModel(List<Car> data) {
super(data);
}
@Override
public Car getRowData(String rowKey) {
List<Car> cars = (List<Car>) getWrappedData();
for(Car car : cars) {
if(car.getModel().equals(rowKey))
return car;
}
return null;
}
@Override
public Object getRowKey(Car car) {
return car.getModel();
}
}
Finally use #{tableBean.carsModel}
instead of #{tableBean.cars}
as value of <p:dataTable>
. Exactly as in the showcase example.
<p:dataTable value="#{tableBean.carsModel}" var="car" ... />
Another, easier, way is to just specify the rowKey
attribute on the <p:dataTable>
.
<p:dataTable value="#{tableBean.cars}" var="car" rowKey="#{car.model}" ... />
This way you don't need the whole SelectableDataModel
. You only need to ensure that it's never null
and always unique across the rows. See also DataModel must implement org.primefaces.model.SelectableDataModel when selection is enabled, but I have already defined rowKey.
Ensure to set the rowKey parameter in the bean method that populates the "value=.." of the datatable. Mine returned this error because the rowKey was null.
