[jboss-user] [JBoss Seam] - Conversation Bug?

[gersonk]

My seam application list all books in a dataTable. The user can edit any book simply by clicking on the 'Edit This Book' button placed at the end of each row... it shows the input boxes and the save button in a modal panel.
When the user finishes updating the book information and clicks on save button, I just want to refresh the dataTable to view the changes were made. I tried using reRender, but it didn't work. For some reason, when the application starts a conversation (@Begin), the reRender does not work. How can I refresh the dataTable? 

Book.java

  | @Name("book")
  | @Entity
  | public class Book{
  | 
  |     @Id @GeneratedValue(strategy=GenerationType.IDENTITY)
  |     private Long id;
  | 
  |     private String title;
  |     private String isbn;
  | 
  |     public Book(){
  | 
  |     }
  | 
  |     public Long getId() { return id; }
  | 
  |     public String getIsbn() { return isbn; }
  |     public void setIsbn(String isbn) { this.isbn = isbn; }
  | 
  |     public String getTitle() { return title; }
  |     public void setTitle(String title) { this.title = title; }

BookingSearchingAction.java

  | 
  |     @Factory(value = "books" )
  |     public void initBooks() {
  |         books = em.createQuery("SELECT a from Book a").getResultList();
  |     }
  |

  |         this.selectedBook = em.merge(book);

  |     }
  | 
  | 
  |     @Remove
