dataList and commandNavigation

[Carsten Burghardt]

Hi all,

I want to build a dynamic navigation with the panelNavigation. Although it 
works basically I have 2 problems: each of the dynamic entries is separated 
by a separator and the navigation does not seem to remember on which item the 
user clicked. That is, the entry does not get highlighted when the action 
target is called.
My navigation looks like this:

<x:panelNavigation id="nav"
              styleClass="navigation"
              separatorClass="navseparator"
              itemClass="navitem"
              activeItemClass="navitem_active"
              openItemClass="navitem_open">
    <x:commandNavigation id="nav_1" value="#{messages['nav.home']}" 
action="go_home"/>
    <x:dataList var="plugin" value="#{navigationBean.plugins}">
      <x:commandNavigation action="#{searchBean.searchAction}">
        <h:outputText value="#{plugin}"/>
        <f:param name="pluginId" value="#{plugin}"/>
      </x:commandNavigation>
    </x:dataList>
</x:panelNavigation>

Any idea what's wrong with that or is there a different way to build this?
