Solution 1

You can use p:dataTable's rowIndexVar attribute.

Name of the iterator to refer each row index

Whose iterator name can be used in EL to get the Row Id

For Example: if rowIndexVar="myId" then you can access each row Index using that iterator name in EL using #{myID}.

Example:

<p:dataTable rowIndexVar="rowId" value="..." var="...">
    <p:column>
       <h:commandLink action="#{...}">
         <f:param name="id" value="#{rowId}" />
       </h:commandLink>
    </p:column>
</p:dataTable>

Solution 2

Get id in bean

map<String,String> par_map = new HashMap<String,String>(); par_map=FacesContext.getCurrentInstance().getExternalContext().getRequestParameterMap();

String id=par_map.get("id");

And how would I use the selected rowId in my bean function? I mean, I need a variable whose value is one when I click the button in first row (Or any other technique which would let me know the selected row in my table)
