Pick up object by clicking on a commandLink in the Datatable

Question

I’m trying to catch an object by clicking on a commandLink that is in each column of Datatable, but always from the nullPointerException error. Can anyone help?

I’m doing it this way:

<p:commandLink id="ajax"  ajax="false" process="@this"
    actionListener="#{controleAuditoriaBean.prepDownload}" value="#{controleAuditoria.caminhoArquivo}">
            <f:setPropertyActionListener
                target="#{controleAuditoriaBean.solicitacoesBD}"
                            value="#{controleAuditoria}" />                         
                    <p:fileDownload value="#{controleAuditoriaBean.download}" />    
</p:commandLink>

Method:

public void prepDownload() throws Exception {
        System.out.println("Caminho "+solicitacoesBD.getCaminhoArquivo());
        File file = new File(solicitacoesBD.getCaminhoArquivo());

        InputStream input = new FileInputStream(file);
        ExternalContext externalContext = FacesContext.getCurrentInstance().getExternalContext();
        setDownload(new DefaultStreamedContent(input, externalContext.getMimeType(file.getName()), file.getName()));
        System.out.println("PREP = " + download.getName());
    }

Techies, your problem is using the actionListener whereas the correct would be just action.

The problem of actionListener is that he executes before the action.

Your code would stand:

<p:commandLink id="ajax"  ajax="false" process="@this"
    action="#{controleAuditoriaBean.prepDownload}" value="#{controleAuditoria.caminhoArquivo}">
            <f:setPropertyActionListener
                target="#{controleAuditoriaBean.solicitacoesBD}"
                            value="#{controleAuditoria}" />                         
                    <p:fileDownload value="#{controleAuditoriaBean.download}" />    
</p:commandLink>
