I've made a composite component using primefaces 5.1. I want a dialog to show up, you can input a name and search the db. Then you can select one entry and the dialog closes again. My Problem ist that the selection in the dataTable always returns null...
this is the composite:

and this is the Faces Component:

Maybe someone knows the reason why?
