TableDataprovider in a dynamic created table

[Mark Smits-2]

Hi,

I'm having some trouble linking the input field in a table to the tabledataprovider when i'm generating the table from my backing bean. i am able to see the data in the table but when i edit it and submit it i still see the old data. I have tried everything but still cannot find the problem.  Is this a known problem or am i doing something wrong?

JSP:

<webuijsf:table id="UserTable" binding="#{TestBean.userTable}">
       <f:facet name="title">
            <webuijsf:staticText text="Users"/>
       </f:facet>
 </webuijsf:table>

 <webuijsf:button id="testBVutton" text="Submit" actionExpression="#{TestBean.action}"></webuijsf:button>


Backing Bean:
