I am trying to pass an object from populated with items table to Controller. Then I use JS alert to verify success. However I fail to pass anything from the table.
Any help would be appreciated.
issues.xhtml
<p:dataTable var="issue" value="#{issuesController.findWithParameter(issues, startenddates)}" styleClass="list" selectionMode="single" selection="#{issuesController.issue}" rowKey="#{issue.id}" >
    <p:ajax event="rowSelect" update="mainForm" listener ="#{issuesController.onRowSelect}" 
            oncomplete="alert(args.name)"/>  
    <p:column headerText="Id"  id = "head_id" style="width:0%; padding: 0px;">
        <h:outputText value="#{issue.id}"/>
    </p:column>
    <p:column headerText="Child" id = "head_child" style="width:12%;">
        <h:outputText value="#{issue.child}"/>
    </p:column>
...
</p:dataTable>
IssuesController.java
@Named("issuesController")
@RequestScoped
public class IssuesController implements Serializable {
    @Inject
    private Issues issue;
....
public void onRowSelect(SelectEvent event) throws IOException {
        Issues i = (Issues) event.getObject();
        String toWrite;
        if (i == null) {
            toWrite = "Item is not recieved";
        } else {
            toWrite = i.toString();
        }
        RequestContext.getCurrentInstance().addCallbackParam("name", toWrite);
}
Issues.java
@Named("issues")
@SessionScoped
@XmlRootElement
public class Issues implements Serializable {
....
}
I tried different types of scope, tried f:attribute...neither of this worked...
