Trigger/activate the RowEditor from bean for a primefaces In-Cell editing enabled p:dataTable

Question

I have a primefaces p:dataTable with InCell editing enabled and want to trigger/activate the RowEditor for the newly added row.

Excerpt of XHTML

Answer 1

I used the execute(..) method of class RequestContext in my create method. This allowed me to first calculate the index of the row to go into edit mode and to include it dynamically in the javascript:

RequestContext.getCurrentInstance().execute("jQuery('span.ui-icon-pencil').eq(" + rowToEditIndex + ").each(function(){jQuery(this).click()});");

Hope this helps.
