p:commandButton in p:dataTable

Question

I got a problem with a p:commandButton inside a p:dataTable My button does not call the procedure in my backing bean. Does anyone have an idea why this button won't work?

Best Regards

Button Code:

 <p:column headerText="Details" style="width: 10px;">
                            <p:outputPanel id="buttonDetail">
                                <p:commandButton icon="ui-icon-vwfList" 
                                                styleClass="colButton" 
                                                action="#{customerChangeHistoryHandler.selectHistoryElement()}"
                                                id="buttonDetail"                                           
                                                update=":historyDetail"
                                                title="GO!!!">
                                </p:commandButton>
                            </p:outputPanel>
                        </p:column>

Is there a way to let the bean for the data model RequestScoped?

Answer 1

I found the problem. There is a second bean, which provides my datamodel for the first datatable. This bean was RequestScoped and not ViewAccessScoped as the main backing bean. I changed the scope and now the button call is working.
