I've done some research and haven't been able to find anything that directly addresses the problem I've been having.

I have a DataTable column that is editable (by cell) and I have the ability to click on the cell, enter a new number in the cell editor box, but when I hit the cell editor closes but does not save the new value (same thing happens if you just click off and don't hit enter).

Here is the Code Snippet

<h:form>
    <c:forEach items="#{extensionsBean.getPhases()}"  var="phase">
        <p:fieldset legend="#{phase.getPhaseName()}">
            <p:dataTable value="#{extensionsBean.getActivities(phase)}" var="activity" editable="true" editMode="cell">
                <p:column>
                    <f:facet name="header">
                        <h:outputText value="Actual Hours"/>
                    </f:facet>
                        <p:cellEditor>
                              <f:facet name="output">
                                    <h:outputText value="#{activity.getEstimateDetail().actualHours}"/>
                              </f:facet>
                              <f:facet name="input">
                                  <h:inputText value="#{activity.getEstimateDetail().actualHours}" />
                              </f:facet>
                        </p:cellEditor>
                   //the rest of the closing tags are present

Any suggestions would be great! For the record, I have basically the exact same setup in a different xhtml page and I'm able to edit each of the cells without a problem. Not sure what's causing this one to bug out on me.

Add ajax event celledit and where do you want save the value you can save it. Code is below in my project

Xhtml page(Primefaces): 

<p:dataTable var="my" value="#{java.custom_info}" editMode="cell" editable="true" style="font-size: 12px">

<p:ajax event="cellEdit" listener="#{java.custom_detail}"/>
<p:column style="background: white">
    <h:outputText value="First Name"/>
</p:column>
<p:column style="background: white">
  <p:cellEditor>
      <f:facet name="output"> <h:outputText value="#{my.first}"/>   </f:facet>
      <f:facet name="input"><p:inputText value="#{my.first}" placeholder="Enter First Name" style="width:93%"/></f:facet>
  </p:cellEditor>
</p:column>

</p:dataTable>

Java Class

public void custom_detail(CellEditEvent event){
    String old_str = (String) event.getOldValue();
    String first_name = (String) event.getNewValue();
    System.out.println("update method reached..."+first_name);
    FacesContext fc = FacesContext.getCurrentInstance();
    HttpSession session = (HttpSession) fc.getExternalContext().getSession(false);
    Query db = new Query();
    Customer bean = new Customer();
    if(session!=null){
        if(((String)session.getAttribute("login"))!=null){
            Calendar currentDate=Calendar.getInstance();
            SimpleDateFormat format=new SimpleDateFormat("yyyy-MM-dd HH:mm:ss");
            String datenow=format.format(currentDate.getTime());
            session.setAttribute("firstname", first_name);
            session.setAttribute("modified_date",datenow);
            bean.setFirst(first_name);
            bean.setUsrid((String)session.getAttribute("user"));
            bean.setUsr_modified(datenow);
            db.update_personalinfo(bean);   
      }
    } 
}
