I am losing checked info while jumping one pagination number to another, when i checked some rows, then jump another pagination number in datatable, and go back to old pagination number i loose the checked info, i see nothing has changed.

what is the scope of `systemMessageEditController` bean ? it should be at least `ViewScoped` — Daniel, Jan 09 '13 at 09:22
@Daniel it is viewscoped, but my form is in a dialog, may it be about this? — merveotesi, Jan 09 '13 at 09:29
@tuxi try making it session to see if it fixes it , if so, inspect why your view scope is being invalidated... (which cause it to loose track of selected rows) — Daniel, Jan 09 '13 at 09:33
@Daniel as you can see in my datatble `value` and `selection` variables are in different beans, may this be the problem. thanks for responses. — merveotesi, Jan 09 '13 at 10:39
@tuxi. have you tried changing the scope of `systemMessageEditController ` into `SessionScoped` ? — Daniel, Jan 09 '13 at 11:24
@tuxi did the solution below help or you are are still having problems with selection? — Akos K, Jan 10 '13 at 13:44
@akoskm i have tried EDIT section, also tried sessionscoped, nothing changed — merveotesi, Jan 11 '13 at 08:37
@tuxi I suggested you to look at your rowKey attribute and either try to change it to the ID of your entity or properly implement your entities' hashCode, toString and equals method. — Akos K, Jan 11 '13 at 10:46

This is how @ViewScoped works. See the following answer from BalusC:

A view scoped bean lives as long as you interact with the same view (i.e. you return void or null in bean action method). When you navigate away to another view, e.g. by clicking a link or by returning a different action outcome, then the view scoped bean will be trashed by end of render response and not be available in the next request.

which explains that in cases like yours (I just read in one of your comment that you jump to another page before you lose the selection, you should note that in your question too!) the bean is destroyed, so when you navigate back to your dataTable view it gets reconstructed again. This is the reason why receiverList is empty => no selection.

If you want to save your data while navigating between different views, use a bean with scope wider than @ViewScoped, or simply save the selection to a table in your DB.

EDIT

The problem could be in your rowKey attribute. In the current code it points to the user object, in this case make sure that this objects has proper hashCode, equals and toString implementations. If the user class actually has a key or something, it would be easier to change rowKey to rowKey="#{user.id}".

i am sorry, but as saying "jumping another page", i mean clicking "another datatable pagination number below datatable" — merveotesi, Jan 09 '13 at 09:43
@tuxi well anyway, you should mention in the question when you loose selection. I also edited my answer. — Akos K, Jan 09 '13 at 09:48

Yes it works just like i want, but despite of same code, i lose checked info on jumping another page. – merveotesi Jan 09 '13 at 09:33
Please show us whole code of backing bean. Maybe it will help. – partlov Jan 09 '13 at 09:38
a little note, jumping another page means another datatable page, eg. next 10 records – merveotesi Jan 09 '13 at 09:44

You are probably sending the data via ajax request you should make sure that it process dataTable itself

I am not doing any custom sending, i am only using `datatable column selectionmode` – merveotesi Jan 09 '13 at 09:29
Try getting rid of filtering on columns. Primefaces caches filtered data inside the page, so that may be the reason I think of. – Panda Jan 09 '13 at 09:51
