Make PrimeFaces dataTable editable by default

Question

I'm working on JSF2, PrimeFaces 3. Is there a way to make the dataTable editable by default so the users do not have to click the rowEditor button?

I'm using the dataTable for taking user inputs initially.

Answer 1

Dont Keep rowEditor in the datatable. Have the editable components like inputText and selectOneMenu in the cells. Input and output facet are redundant.

<p:dataTable id="myTable" value="#{bean.list_dtls}" var="dataItem">
    <p:column>
         <f:facet name="header">
               <h:outputLabel value="Field 1" />
         </f:facet>
         <p:inputText value="#{dataItem.myField}" />
    </p:column>
</p:dataTable>
