Is there a way to avoid using session scope when using DataTables?

Hi,

Although I'm new to JSF it seems there is not other way but to use the session scope when using data tables.

Trying to use the BalusC (http://balusc.xs4all.nl/srv/dev-jep-dat.html#SelectMultipleRows) tutorial (Select multiple rows section) ends up with null pointer exception when trying to access the List that was used to build the DataTable.

Is there something I'm doing wrong?

I did the tutorial step-by-step, creating a managed bean in request scope, building my table according to a list which I抦 getting from the server, modifying the data, marking the rows I want to update, click submit.... and getting null pointer exception.
