26  /**
27    * Represents the data presented by a UIData component, together with
28    * some state information about the currently selected row within the
29    * datalist for use by listeners on UIData components. This class allows
30    * managed bean code to avoid binding directly to UIData components for
31    * typical uses.
32    * <p> 
33    * Note that DataModel and its standard subclasses are not serializable,
34    * as there is no state in a DataModel object itself that needs to be
35    * preserved between render and restore-view. UIData components therefore
36    * do not store their DataModel when serialized; they just evaluate their
37    * "value" EL expression to refetch the object during the 
38    * apply-request-values phase.
39    * <p>
40    * Because DataModel is not serializable, any managed bean that needs to
41    * be serialized and which has a member of type DataModel should therefore
42    * mark that member transient. If there is a need to preserve the datalist
43    * contained within the DataModel then ensure a reference to that list is
44    * stored in a non-transient member, or use a custom serialization method
45    * that explicitly serializes dataModel.getWrappedData.
46    *  
47    * See Javadoc of <a href="http://java.sun.com/javaee/javaserverfaces/1.2/docs/api/index.html">JSF Specification</a> for more.
