JSF 2 dataTable row index without dataModel

Question

I\'ve been using ui:repeat to generate tables. With ui:repeat it\'s easy to get the rows numbered using the varStatus. I\'m depending on the row id\'s from varS

Answer 1

Just bind the table to the view itself instead of to a bean.

<h:dataTable binding="#{table}" ...>

Then you can use #{table.rowIndex} where necessary. E.g.

<h:column>#{table.rowIndex + 1}</h:column>
