How to set selected item in bean in <p:dataList> - jsf

Question

I am using p:dataList because I am developing a PrimeFaces mobile view displaying a list of items. When clicking on any item, another pm:view of the same view should be displayed. But the bean should be notified of the selected item.
Unfortunately I couldn't find a way to update the bean successfully: <p:ajax> inside dataTable throws this exception:
<p:ajax> Unable to attach <p:ajax> to non-ClientBehaviorHolder parent
Using <f:setPropertyActionListener> inside the iterative element fails too because I get:
<f:setPropertyActionListener> Parent is not of type ActionSource
This is my code:
<pm:view id="instrumentsView" >
<pm:content >
<h:form id="instrumentsList" >
<p:dataList var="instrument" value="#{instrumentBean.subscribedInstruments}" >
<h:outputLink value="#newView" >#{instrument.longName}</h:outputLink>
<f:setPropertyActionListener value="#{instrument}" target="#{instrumentBean.selectedInstrument}" />
</p:dataList>
</h:form>
</pm:content>
</pm:view>
Clearly, I am using dataList and outputLink because as far as I understand, they are the components optimized for the use in PrimeFaces mobile lists. But I am available to find other options if necessary.

Answer 1

I found out in the showcase (example titled News) the correct way of handling the problem:
<p:dataList var="instrument" value="#{instrumentBean.subscribedInstruments}" >
<p:column >
<p:commandLink value="#{instrument.longName}" action="pm:newView" update=":compId">
<f:setPropertyActionListener value="#{instrument}" target="#{instrumentBean.selectedInstrument}" />
</p:commandLink>
</p:column>
</p:dataList>

There is a topic explaining this in the primefaces documentation.
Selecting Data (page 124)

http://www.primefaces.org/documentation.html
Here is the content
<h:form id="carForm">
<p:dataGrid var="car" value="#{carBean.cars}" columns="3" rows="12">
<p:panel header="#{car.model}">
<p:commandLink update=":carForm:display" oncomplete="dlg.show()">
<f:setPropertyActionListener value="#{car}"
target="#{carBean.selectedCar}"
<h:outputText value="#{car.model}" />
</p:commandLink>
</p:panel>
</p:dataGrid>
<p:dialog modal="true" widgetVar="dlg">
<h:panelGrid id="display" columns="2">
<f:facet name="header">
<p:graphicImage value="/images/cars/#{car.manufacturer}.jpg" />
</f:facet>
<h:outputText value="Model:" />
<h:outputText value="#{carBean.selectedCar.year}" />
</h:panelGrid>
</p:dialog>
</h:form>
