Request row action

<hx:requestRowAction> turns all rows in a data table into

<h:requestLink> tags. This means that clicking on a row in the data table performs an HTTP get with the action encoded in the get. The action is evaluated at runtime and displays a specific page based on the outcome.

<hx:requestRowAction> provides same functionality as <hx:commandExRowAction>; however, it does so with an HTTP GET request. No form submit occurs when a row is clicked and the tag need not be contained within a form.

The All Attributes view shows a table of all the attributes you can set on a component, which includes those attributes you can access from the Properties view. To switch to the All Attributes view, click the

All Attributes icon in the upper right corner of the Properties view.
