Passing wrapper data as paramater unsing actionfunction

Hey All,

I believe my question will underline my lack of experience with Javascript more than anything else, but I am hoping this is the right place to ask this question anyway. I have a pageBlockTable that is iterating over a list of wrapper classes. Each wrapper class holds two select lists. The idea is to have one control the other. I uderstand how to use action functions to create a dependant picklist when all the requesite functionality resides in the controller itself. I seem to be missing something important when using action functions and specific individual iterations of a list. Can anyone help?

Short question - In the example page, controller and wrapper class below; how can I get the first select list for each iteration in the data table to control the second? The dependant select list outside the data table works as an example of what I am looking for.

<apex:page controller="TestController">

<apex:form id="pgFrm">
<apex:actionFunction name="refreshDependent" action="{!buildSecondSelectList}" rerender="secList" />
<apex:pageBlock title="Rerender Dependent Picklists" id="firstlBlk" >
   <apex:selectList value="{!val1}" size="1" onchange="refreshDependent()" id="firstList">
    <apex:selectOptions value="{!list1}"/>
   </apex:selectList>
   <apex:selectList value="{!val2}" size="1" id="secList">
    <apex:selectOptions value="{!list2}"/>
   </apex:selectList>
</apex:pageBlock>
<apex:pageBlock title="Test Wrapper Picklists" id="seclBlk" >
   <apex:pageBlockTable value="{!wrapperList}" var="wrapper" id="wrapperTable" >
    <apex:column headerValue="First Wrapper Select List" >
     <apex:selectList value="{!wrapper.wrapperVal1}" size="1" id="wrapFirList">
      <apex:selectOptions value="{!wrapper.wrapperList1}"/>
     </apex:selectList>
    </apex:column>
    <apex:column headerValue="Second Wrapper Select List" >
     <apex:selectList value="{!wrapper.wrapperVal2}" size="1" id="wrapSecList">
      <apex:selectOptions value="{!wrapper.wrapperList2}"/>
     </apex:selectList>
    </apex:column>
   </apex:pageBlockTable>
</apex:pageBlock>

First of all, I would try creating a Map of your Wrappers along with that list with some sort of Identifier. After you have this, then add an apex:param to your apex:actionfunction and pass in the identifier to it also. That way when your actionfunction fires, you have the key to your Map and so can grab the correct Wrapper.

Thanks for the fast reply. I understand what you are saying. I still seem to be missing something. I have little to no experience with Javascript so I am sure I am calling the action function incorrectly. I have changed my code to the following and get a null pointer in the "refreshWrapperDepandantList" method on the "wrapper.buildSecondSelectList" line. When I add a debug statement it prints a blank value for itemNumber.

Thanks for the help.

<apex:page controller="TestController">

<apex:form id="pgFrm">
<apex:actionFunction name="refreshDependent" action="{!buildSecondSelectList}" rerender="secList" />
<apex:actionFunction name="refreshWrapperDependent" action="{!refreshWrapperDependantList}" rerender="wrapSecList" >
   <apex:param name="param1" value="" assignTo="{!itemNumber}" />
</apex:actionFunction>
<apex:pageBlock title="Rerender Dependent Picklists" id="firstlBlk" >
   <apex:selectList value="{!val1}" size="1" onchange="refreshDependent()" id="firstList">
    <apex:selectOptions value="{!list1}"/>
   </apex:selectList>
   <apex:selectList value="{!val2}" size="1" id="secList">

Change 'this.identifier' to '{!iwrapper.dentifier}'
