I don't have a good understanding of your environment, but I believe you
can create your hyperlink querry params via a backing bean and without
any special row listeners, convertors, etc.
Note that the DataProvider typically only contains information from the
database. That is, you don't need to add MYSPECIALVAR variables to the
objects contained in CachedRowSetDataProvider. You can store that
information in your backing bean. You wouldn't want to commit these
extra properties, right?
When the table iterates over the rows in the underlying DataProvider,
the APIs of your hyperlink will be called once per row. You need to
format the query params before returning it to the component, but that
doesn't necessarily mean it must all come from the DataProvider or even
via value expressions.
If you need to know the current row of the table, you can use the
following code. Once you have a RowKey, you can access any piece of data
in DataProvider for the current row of the table.
// Get current table row.
//
// Note: To obtain a RowKey for the current table row, the use the same
// sourceVar property given to the TableRowGroup component. For
example, if
// sourceVar="name", use "#{name.tableRow}" as the expression string.
private RowKey getTableRow() {
FacesContext context = FacesContext.getCurrentInstance();
ValueExpression ve = JSFUtilities.createValueExpression(context,
"#{name.tableRow}", Object.class);
return (RowKey) ve.getValue(context.getELContext());
}
Sorry I cannot be more helpful,
