p:dataTable rowEdit Ajax event not calling - primefaces

Question

I am new in this StackOverflow community. I am having a problem that the PrimeFaces data table rowEdit Ajax event is not calling whenever I click on the pencil. I know that there are so many questions in this community, I tried each and every possible solution, but all in vein.
Here is my xhtml code:
<h:body style="background:#333333;">
<div
style="background-color: #e5e5e5; padding: 50px; text-align: center;">
<h:graphicImage value="resources/images/afid.png" width="160"
height="160" />
<h:graphicImage value="resources/images/afid2.png" width="160"
height="160" />
<h1>Armed Forces Institute of Dentistry (AFID), Rawalpindi.</h1>

<h:form>

Any type of help would be appreciated

The rowEdit will indeed not be triggered whenever you click the pencil / start editing. It will be triggered when you click the check mark / are done editing.
You can see this happening in the showcase.
