primefaces 3.2 datatable incell editing not working - jsf

I have a datatable with incell editing which displays the records correctly but when I try to edit a row, the change is not reflected. Following is the xhtml code:
<p:cellEditor>
<f:facet name="output">
<h:outputText value="#{scrip.companyName}"/>
</f:facet>
<f:facet name="input">
<p:inputText value="#{scrip.companyName}"/>
</f:facet>
</p:cellEditor>
</p:column>
<p:column headerText="Exchange">
<p:cellEditor>
<f:facet name="output">
<h:outputText value="#{scrip.exchange}"/>
</f:facet>
<f:facet name="input">
<p:selectOneMenu style="width: 150px" value="#{manageScrip.exchange}">
<f:selectItem itemLabel="nse" itemValue="nse"/>
<f:selectItem itemLabel="bse" itemValue="bse"/>
</p:selectOneMenu>
</f:facet>
</p:cellEditor>
</p:column>
<p:column headerText="Brokerage Charge">
<p:cellEditor>
<f:facet name="output">
<h:outputText value="#{scrip.brokerageCharge}"/>
</f:facet>
<f:facet name="input">
<p:inputText value="#{scrip.brokerageCharge}"/>
</f:facet>
</p:cellEditor>
</p:column>
<p:column headerText="Options">
<p:rowEditor/>
</p:column>
</p:dataTable>
</h:form>
</h:body>
Following is the managed bean function:
public void updateScrip()
{
try{
Integer i=(Integer)dt.getRowKey();
String str=i.toString();
sc=(ScripMaster) dt.getRowData(str);
scripSymbol=sc.getScripSymbol();
exchange=sc.getExchange();
companyName=sc.getCompanyName();
updateScrip(i, scripSymbol, companyName, exchange,);
}catch(Exception ex){
}
}
Alternatively I also tried:
public void updateScrip(RowEditEvent e)
{
try{
sc=(ScripMaster) e.getObject();
scripSymbol=sc.getScripSymbol();
exchange=sc.getExchange();
companyName=sc.getCompanyName();
Integer i=sc.getScripID();
updateScrip(i, scripSymbol, companyName, exchange);
}catch(Exception ex){
}
}

The most important part is missing the datatable tag.
Make sure the "editable" attribute is set to true. This attribute was invented in version 3.2 i think, making many onld datatables not editable.


Try using h:inputText instead of p:inputText.

Here is the Bean.

public class TreeBean {
private List<TreeDto> content;
private String result="";
public List<TreeDto> getContent() {
return content;
}
public void setContent(List<TreeDto> content) {
this.content = content;
}

content.add(dto1);
}
public void onCellEdit(CellEditEvent event) {
RequestContext.getCurrentInstance().showMessageInDialog(new FacesMessage(FacesMessage.SEVERITY_INFO, "Status","something clicked"));
}
}
My intention to capture the value of the cells clicked. But I am not able to get an event fired in the first place on cell edit. Please give me some suggestions on how to resolve this.

Try to add a widgetVar to your dataTable and then edit your cell with a contextMenu for your data table, which call onclick="PF('yourWidgetVar').showCellEditor();return false;"
Somenthing like this
<p:contextMenu for="decisionTree" widgetVar="cMenu">
<p:menuitem value="Edit Cell" icon="ui-icon-search" onclick="PF('yourWidgetVar').showCellEditor();return false;"/>
<p:menuitem value="Hide Menu" icon="ui-icon-close" onclick="PF('cMenu').hide()"/>
</p:contextMenu>
You can take a look to Primefaces documentation too:
https://www.primefaces.org/showcase/ui/data/datatable/edit.xhtml

PrimeFaces editable cell doesn't update the value

So I am trying to use a PrimeFaces data table to set data to a list as follows;
<h:form id="frmSalarySupplement">
<p:panel>
<p:dataTable id="tblSalarySupplement"
value="#{salSupplementMB.dataListFromDB}"
var="salSupp"

editable="true"
editMode="cell"
rowsPerPageTemplate="10,20,50,100">
<p:ajax event="cellEdit"
listener="#{salSupplementMB.onCellEdit}"
update="#this" />
<p:column headerText="#" escape="false"
style="white-space:pre-line;
word-break:break-all;
width:20px;
text-align:center;">
<h:outputText value="#{rowSn+1}" />
</p:column>
<p:column headerText="Name"
style="white-space:pre-line;
word-break:break-all;
width:250px;">
<h:outputText value="#{salSupp.empId.name}" />
</p:column>
<p:column headerText="Designation"
style="white-space:pre-line;
word-break:break-all;
width:150px;">
<h:outputText value="#{salSupp.empId.designation.designationName}" />
</p:column>
<p:column headerText="Allowance"
style="white-space:pre-line;
word-break:break-all;
width:100px;">
<p:cellEditor>
<f:facet name="input">
<h:inputText value="#{salSupp.allowance}"
style="width:100%" />
</f:facet>
<f:facet name="output">
<h:outputText value="#{salSupp.allowance}" />
</f:facet>
</p:cellEditor>
</p:column>
<p:column headerText="Special
Allowance"
style="white-space:pre-line;
word-break:break-all;
width:100px;">
<p:cellEditor>
<f:facet name="input">
<h:inputText value="#{salSupp.specialAllowance}"
style="width:100%" />
</f:facet>
<f:facet name="output">
<h:outputText value="#{salSupp.specialAllowance}" />
</f:facet>
</p:cellEditor>
</p:column>
<p:column headerText="Transport
Allowance"
style="white-space:pre-line;
word-break:break-all;
width:100px;">
<p:cellEditor>
<f:facet name="input">
<h:inputText value="#{salSupp.transportAllowance}"

</f:facet>
<f:facet name="output">
<h:outputText value="#{salSupp.transportAllowance}" />
</f:facet>
</p:cellEditor>
</p:column>
</p:dataTable>
</p:panel>
</h:form>
So I want to be able to save the data I have edited on the cell to set it on the list. When I do the following, I don't get an updated value.
public void onCellEdit(CellEditEvent event) {
Object oldValue = event.getOldValue();
Object newValue = event.getNewValue();
}
Can someone suggest what shall I do with it?
Update
Also, can anyone tell me why my table loads multiple times when I edit the value? Maybe that's what's giving me the problem.

Add a blank line in PrimeFaces datatable

I have a problem in datatable when adding a new line:
I want to add a blank line, but if I click on the button it adds a line but component remains.
<p:selectCheckboxMenu> contains old value.
That is to say value of <p:selectCheckboxMenu> preserves the value of the previous line

javax.servlet.ServletException: <p:ajax> Event:rowEdit is not supported

I am getting an error message while trying to use PrimeFaces for my making each row editable. I was checking online many people are making use of this. However when I am trying to create a page with a report in which each row can be edited. I get error that Event:rowEdit is not supported. Can someone please point out my mistake or something I need to include in my XHTML file. Or If i'm doing things right at all.
This table has lot of data that's why I took this approach
Below is the additional information regarding my setup :
Glassfish v3
JPA2.1
PrimeFaces3.5 (i hve the jar included in my project's build path since other report pages are working to confirm primefaces is working)
EJB 3.1

It's not working because
You technically haven't added row editing support to your table, you're editing a cell. Add a <p:rowEditor/> to your table to hook into the rowEdit event
Your table, it's not a real table. The <p:dataTable/> tag doesn't actually wrap the <p:column/> or anything else
What you should have:
<p:dataTable var="myReport" value="#{lordOfDataAdminManagedBean.lodAdmin_list}" id="lodlist" editable="true">
<f:facet name="header"> Lord Of Data Report</f:facet>
<p:ajax event="rowEdit"
listener="#{lordOfDataAdminManagedBean.onEditListener}"
></p:ajax>
<p:ajax event="rowEditCancel"
listener="#{lordOfDataAdminManagedBean.onCancel}"
></p:ajax>
<p:column headerText="Row Id">
<p:cellEditor>
<f:facet name="output">
<h:outputText value="#{myReport.rowId}"></h:outputText>
</f:facet>
<f:facet name="input">
<p:inputText value="#{myReport.rowId}"></p:inputText>
</f:facet>
</p:cellEditor>
</p:column>
<p:column>
<p:rowEditor />
</p:column>
</p:dataTable>

I see:
<p:dataTable var="myReport"
value="#{lordOfDataAdminManagedBean.lodAdmin_list}" id="lodlist"
editable="true"></p:dataTable>
<f:facet name="header"> Lord Of Data Report</f:facet>
<p:ajax event="rowEdit"
listener="#{lordOfDataAdminManagedBean.onEditListener}"
></p:ajax>
<p:ajax event="rowEditCancel"
listener="#{lordOfDataAdminManagedBean.onCancel}"
></p:ajax>
<p:column headerText="Row Id">
<p:cellEditor>
<f:facet name="output">
<h:outputText value="#{myReport.rowId}"></h:outputText>
</f:facet>
<f:facet name="input">
<p:inputText value="#{myReport.rowId}"></p:inputText>
</f:facet>
</p:cellEditor>
</p:column>
you have to try:
<p:dataTable var="myReport"
value="#{lordOfDataAdminManagedBean.lodAdmin_list}" id="lodlist"
editable="true">
<f:facet name="header"> Lord Of Data Report</f:facet>
<p:ajax event="rowEdit"
listener="#{lordOfDataAdminManagedBean.onEditListener}"
></p:ajax>
<p:ajax event="rowEditCancel"
listener="#{lordOfDataAdminManagedBean.onCancel}"
></p:ajax>
<p:column headerText="Row Id">
<p:cellEditor>
<f:facet name="output">
<h:outputText value="#{myReport.rowId}"></h:outputText>
</f:facet>
<f:facet name="input">
<p:inputText value="#{myReport.rowId}"></p:inputText>
</f:facet>
</p:cellEditor>
</p:column>
</p:dataTable>

Primefaces 3.0 DataTable inCell editing , RowEditEvent doesn't retrieve updated field

I am working on a sample app with primefaces 3 , using datatables incell editing mode. Although when i edit , i see the event.getObjects gives me the object which is not modified.
Changed the property of the object on debug mode, it does update.
So i couldn't figure out why i cant get the edited property.
Below are my eventlistener method and the xhtml;
Any pointers are welcomed
Thanks in advance
EventListener
public void editListener(RowEditEvent event){
System.out.println("EDIT LISTENER");
update((Employer)event.getObject());
}
JSF :
<h:form id="form">
<h1><h:outputText value="List"/></h1>
<p:dataTable value="#{employer.employers}" var="item" paginator="true" rows="10" style="width:300px">
<p:column>
<f:facet name="header">
<h:outputText value="Id"/>
</f:facet>
<h:outputText value="#{item.id}"/>
</p:column>
<p:column headerText="Name">
<p:cellEditor>
<f:facet name="output">
<h:outputText value="#{item.name}"/>
</f:facet>
<f:facet name="input">
<p:inputText value="#{item.name}"></p:inputText>
</f:facet>
</p:cellEditor>
</p:column>
<p:column>
<f:facet name="header">
<h:outputText value="Surname"/>
</f:facet>
<h:outputText value="#{item.surname}"/>
</p:column>
<p:column>
<f:facet name="header">
<h:outputText value="Phone"/>
</f:facet>
<h:outputText value="#{item.phone}"/>
</p:column>
<p:column>
<f:facet name="header">
<h:outputText value="Email"/>
</f:facet>
<h:outputText value="#{item.email}"/>
</p:column>
<p:column headerText="Options" style="width:50px">
<p:rowEditor />
</p:column>
<p:ajax event="rowEdit" listener="#{employer.editListener}"></p:ajax>
</p:dataTable>
</h:form>

After this...
<p:dataTable value="#{employer.employers}" var="item" paginator="true"
rows="10" style="width:300px">
...put the following:
<p:ajax event="rowEdit" update="#this" listener="#{HandlerClassName.rowEditListener}" />
