I have a Primefaces DataTable inside an AccordionPanel with dynamic number of tabs. The DataTable can be sorted by each column by click on the column header. The DataTable throws an NullPointerException in Primefaces' DataTable class when updating a row. The error occurs only after the table has been sorted before. I've tested the same table outside the accordion, and it does not show the error.
What am I doing wrong ?
