Select All rows in ADF tabel

I got a requirement to provide 'Select All' option for ADF table. Tried a lot in different ways and finally got the solution with the following approach.

Code in UI:
 
<af:commandToolbarButton partialSubmit="true" text="Select All" id="cb1"
actionListener="#{myBean.selectAllListener}">
</af:commandToolbarButton> 

Code in the bean for selection listener is like this:
public void selectAllListener() {
  RowKeySet rkset = new RowKeySetImpl();
  CollectionModel model = (CollectionModel)myTable.getValue();
  int rowcount = model.getRowCount();
 
  for (int i = 0; i < rowcount; i++) {
     model.setRowIndex(i);
     Object key = model.getRowKey();
     rkset.add(key);
  }
 
  myTable.setSelectedRowKeys(rkset);
}

When we click on 'Select All' button, it will select all the rows from the model, adds to the selected row keys of the table and also displays the selected row count in the 'Rows selected' section in the status bar.

If the selection listener has makeCurrent entry, then the above approach may fail. When you select one row and then go for 'Select All', this wont work  to overcome this issue you can have selection listener code in the bean as follows:

public void selectAllListener() {
  RowKeySet rkset = myTable.getSelectedRowKeys();
  CollectionModel model = (CollectionModel)myTable.getValue();
  int rowcount = model.getRowCount();
 
  for (int i = 0; i < rowcount; i++) {
     model.setRowIndex(i);
     Object key = model.getRowKey();
     rkset.add(key);
  }
}

This means that, you are going to add remaining rows on top of selected rows.
