After I enter something in the search criteria and press find. The table display the rows but then Edit command button does not seem to work.

Any of you know why? I am using JSF 2 mojarra 2.0.3 and GlassFish v3.

Thanks

I have the following ManagedBean and web page:

package example.ui.web;

import org.springframework.context.annotation.Scope;
import org.springframework.stereotype.Component;

import java.util.ArrayList;
import java.util.List;

@Component("testFinderAM")
@Scope("request")
public class TestFinder {
  private String searchCriteria;

  public String getSearchCriteria() {
    return searchCriteria;
  }

  public void setSearchCriteria(String searchCriteria) {
    this.searchCriteria = searchCriteria;
  }

  public String find() {
    return null;
  }

  public String edit() {
    return null;
  }

  public List<SimpleAddress> getAddresses() {
    List<SimpleAddress> addresses = new ArrayList<SimpleAddress>();
    if (hasSearchCriteria()) {
      for (int i = 1; i <= 50; i++) {
        addresses.add(createAddressUsing(i));
      }
    }
    return addresses;
  }

  public SimpleAddress createAddressUsing(Integer id) {
    return new SimpleAddress(id, "Room " + id, id + " Simple Road", "Shanghai", "Shanghai", "China");
  }

  public boolean hasSearchCriteria() {
    return searchCriteria != null && !searchCriteria.isEmpty();
  }
}
