I am experiencing an issue when embedding a t:commandLink component in a t:dataTable/t:column. For some reason my action is failing to bind to my viewController method. If I put the exact same link outside of the table with hard-coded parameter values, the link works correctly.
I have run in my debugger and discovered that during the ApplyRequestValues phase while trying to decode the components submitted, we work our way into the processDecodes method of UIData. This eventually calls a method called processColumnChildren which should process each column and the components contained within. I created a table that only contains one row for simplicity. This method is supposed to get every component for a given row and process their decode methods. The problem is that before it process a row it checks to see if the row is currently available. This calls dataModel.isRowAvailable. Somehow I have an instance of emptyDataModel, which always returns false to isRowAvailable, so my linkComponent is never decoded. Why is my datamodel always becoming the EmptyDataModel. During rendering it has no problem finding my backing beans to populate the view, it just can't find it during the applyrequestvalues step. JB
