i have created datatable with four selectOneMenu in it whenever i change the first selectOneMenu values of second selectOneMenu need to be populated on the same row and again on the selection of second selectOneMenu third needs to populate i had done this by passing row number value to each selectOneMenu (with intention which particular selectOneMenu user must has clicked on) but whenever i pass the value with f:param i am getting null value on the controller but same can be printed with outputText on datatable
please guide
<t:dataTable id="insertTaskDataTable" border="1"
value="#{insertTask.taskList}" var="taskInfo" rowIndexVar="row"
iterationStatusVar="it">
<t:column>
<h:inputHidden id="id" value="#{row}"/>
</t:column>
<t:column>
<f:facet name="header">#{bundle['GROUP_HEADER']}</f:facet>
<h:selectOneMenu id="taskGroup" value="#{taskInfo.groupList.comboValue}" onchange="document.getElementById('addTask:filterButton').click();">
<f:param name="idTaskGroup" value="#{row}"/>
