JSF Datamodel & JPA parent to leaves navigation. How to?

My web application is a CRUD web application based on JSF 2.0 / JPA using Java EE 5 and JDK 1.6. Running on Glassfish 3.1. The IDE is Netbeans 7.0. (I do not use EJB, nor CDI).

  1. THE PROBLEM

What I can achieve now is perform CRUD on my entities. Which is fine. For each entity I have:

  • List.xhtml (LIsting all Datamodel items for that entity in datatable)
  • Create.xhtml (A form to create a new item)
  • View.xhtml (a form to view an item)
  • Edit.xhtml (a form to edit an item)

Structure

  • entities package: entities.
  • jpa.controllers package: JPA controllers (Javax persistence..).
  • jsf package: a managed bean for each entity (session Scoped).

But the main problem is parent-leaf navigation. I want my webapp to do the same thing as the Demo application Agile ScrumToys that comes along shipped with Netbeans 7.0. or the demo webapp from SpringFuse, otherwise :

E.G: When you display a list of WRITERS in a you have the last <h:column> where you put three <h:commandLink /> for editing, viewing and deleting the selected row. What I intend to do is to add another in the same column that allows me to view a collection of child objects related to that selected row. Hence, I want to show the list of BOOKS written by a given WRITER.

WRITER 1 ---------- * BOOK (one-to-many) relationship.

When the user clicks on the <h:commandButton action="#{someManagedBean.showBooksForWriter}" value="#{i18n.listBooks}" /> it forwards him to the /book/List.xhtml (list of the selected WRITEr row should appear). And so on, from the book datatable, from a given row, I click on <h:commandLink action="#{someManagedBean.showReferencesForBook}" value="List of Book References"/> to get the list of references for the given book. A given hint by @Matt was to use a method in the book managed bean:

public showBooksForWriter(Writer writer) {
// TODO: get the selected writer
// Get the list of books for the selected writer
return "/book/List";  // Outcome
}

And in the view :

<h:datatable value="#{writerController.items}" var="w">
.....
<h:column>
<h:commandButton action="#{bookController.showBooksForWriter(w}" value="Show Books For Writer"/>
</h:column>
....
</h:datatable>

But I could not figure how to (DataModel is driving mad). So if anyone could help! It would be very appreciated!

Below is my code

the WRITER entity:
