To get the row number of the selected primefaces datatable row

Question

I have a primefaces datatable i need to display (selected row number) of (total number of rows) in the JSF page.I could get the row numbers displayed in one of the columns

Answer 1

I'm surprised by the complex solution in the other answer. Assuming you you have the #{workSpaceBean.lpInfoList} serverside when doing the 'select', you can easily do (code according to the PrimeFaces showcase, adapt according to your needs)

public void onRowSelect(SelectEvent event) {
    int rownum = cars.indexOf((Car)event.getObject());

}
