Hi Tim,

I use a commandLink within a dataTable to accomplish what you are trying to
do.  See the relative portions of code below.

<x:dataTable var="user" value="#{UserCtl.userListDataModel}">
...
<h:commandLink id="edit" action="#{UserCtl.updateUserPage}" value="edit" />

...

    public String updateUserPage() {
        curUsr = (User) UIHelper.getReqMapObj("user");
        return "edit";// This "edit" is mapped to the useredit.jsf page in
the faces-config.xml file. Which is how the redirect happens.  I use a
single controller for multiple screens which is why I am storing the
selected row in curUsr which will then be used on the useredit.jsf screen.
    }

...

    public static Object getReqMapObj(String obj) {
        return
FacesContext.getCurrentInstance().getExternalContext().getRequestMap().get(o
bj);
    }

HTH,

Walden,

I am using ajax on this page for other links. I was hoping to use the same
logic for 2 other links I have on the page. 

I don't need to use ajax to perform this function. I could use <a
href=newpage.faces?user=tim> in html to perform what I need to do, but not
sure how to do this with EGL. 

So, the "forward" statements use in the onprerender function is not really
the issue if I can find out how to do this with egl/jsf.

Tim

Tim,

Why would you use Ajax for that at all? That's basic web, load a list of
rows where each row has a link (or group of links).

Now, if you had two divs on the page, say left-hand and right-hand you
could use Ajax to update the right-had div w/the appropriate info based
on what was clicked on the left-hand div (almost frame-like), and ever
auto-refresh the right-hand div every xxx seconds. But that's not what
you're looking for I don't think.
