You basically wrap the list in s ListDataModel and you can pullthe row you need out with getWrappedData() .
You can just use List but you can bind datamodels to teh binding attribute. This side of JSF is really cool. You want a HtmlInputText in a panelGrid (table in struts/jstl speak) you just do new HtmlInputText(). It gets a bit wierd having your HTML abstracted into datatables and panel grids, but its so clean. I've been playing with mono .NET also which has a similar abstraction from the html code. You can certainly say goodbye to indices in the JSP. For dynamically generated links then its urlwrite, struts-faces or a hand rolled filter or servlet. I spat my dummy when i couldn't control 2 forms in 1 backing bean to generate a navigation system, but the navigation shouldn't have been using javascript links anyhow.
