You can add an unique styleClass to the dataTable, and one javascript function in the commandButton:

So add to the table:

styleClass="myTable"

And to the button:

oncomplete="$('.myTable tbody.ui-datatable-data tr:last-child td span.ui-row-editor span.ui-icon-pencil').click()"

And your code will look like this:

  
          
            
                ...
              
        
    ...
          
                  
        
    ...
