Cannot make filter on rich:datatable

Question

I am working on a project and there are some parts which I have not developed. Right now I have to set a filter on a table, as we use rich faces, I wanted to use the filter as in the example from exadel.

However it doesn't work, I know it may be due to the filterValue property, because I am not sure if I am pointing to the proper bean. Everything looks good but the filter is not there.

Any suggestions? How can I get to know what is the proper bean? This contains only the column that I want to filter.

<rich:dataTable var="_project"
    value="#{projectController.showDeactivateEmployees? projects : projectController.getViewableProjects(projects)}"
    rendered="#{not empty projectController.getViewableProjects(projects)}"
    styleClass="simpletablestyle" sortMode="single">
    <rich:column filterBy="#{_project.name}" filterValue="#{project.name}">
            <f:facet name="header">#{msg.common_Name}</f:facet>
            <h:outputText value="#{_project.name}"
                style="color:#{_project.usedHours * 100 / _project.maxHours &gt;= 75 and _project.maxHours!=0? '#d20f19' : '#000000'};">
            </h:outputText>
    </rich:column>
<rich:datatable/>

~~The attribute name is just "filterValue".~~

What is proper bean is up to you, filterValue just has to point to some property where you want the value to be stored.
