How to get selected row of a datable in JSF 1.2 using OpenFaces?

Question

I used data table (OpenFaces) for selecting a row in data table using the attribute o:checkboxColumn rowDatas this will filter the selected rows only.

<o:checkboxColumn rowDatas="#{tBean.srInventoryList}">
    <f:facet name="header">
        <o:selectAllCheckbox />
    </f:facet>
</o:checkboxColumn>

When I click a button it displays all the list, but I want only other rows which are not selected whether any attributes for filter the row list.

Actually it's not possible by the API of checkboxColumn by itself, You need to add some additional logic inside your bean for example:

<o:dataTable id="bookMultipleSelection"
             var="book"
             value="#{BookList.books}">
  <o:multipleRowSelection rowDatas="#{BookList.list}"/>
  <o:selectionColumn>
    <f:facet name="header">
      <o:selectAllCheckbox/>
    </f:facet>
  </o:selectionColumn>
  /**other columns here**/
</o:dataTable>   
<o:commandButton execute="bookMultipleSelection" action="#{BookList.updateList}" render="bookMultipleSelection" value="Click ME"/>

End something like this in your backing bean :

private List<Book> books;
private List list = new ArrayList();

public List getList() {
    return list;
}

public void setList(List list) {
    this.list = list;
}

public List<Book> getBooks() {
    return books;
}

public  void updateList(){
    books.removeAll(list);
}
