I have to display a slightly complicated page which has a list containing a list and that containing a list etc...

e.g. say you have a list of employees by dept..i.e. at the top level my backing bean returns a list of EmpDeptVOs and each item in the list (EmpDeptVO) is defined as


| EmpDeptVO {
|  String dept;
|  List<EmplVO>; {list of emp belonging to dept)
| }
|

Now I have to loop through this list and render each EmpVO object which inturn contains lists like EmpDetails, EmpExperiences, EmpCertifications etc... which essentially would be rendered using h:dataTable.

So my page is something like this

|
| <c:ForEach items="backingBean.empDeptVOList" var="empDeptVO " >
|
| <ul>
|  #{empDeptVO.dept}
|  <c:ForEach items="empDeptVO.empVOList" var="empVO " >
|  <li>
|    <h:dataTable value="#{empVO.details}" var="details">
|     <t:column>
|       <f:facet name="header">Emp Name</f:facet>
|       <h:inputText value="#{details.name}"
|     </t:column>
|   </h:dataTable>
|   <h:dataTable value="#{empVO.experiences}" var="experience">
|     <t:column>
|       <f:facet name="header">Emp Experience</f:facet>
|       <h:inputText value="#{experience.value}"
|     </t:column>
|   </h:dataTable>
|  </li>
|  </<c:ForEach>
| </ul>
|
| </c:ForEach>
|
|

My backing bean currently has the getEmpDeptVOList() and the setEmpDeptVOList().

My first question is am I doing this right? What I would like to do is to be able to update each cell in the various data tables update independently using A4J and their respective value binding.

Any ideas how could I make this work using Seam?
