Pagination in Scaffolding can only go two pages deep ---------------------------------------------------- Key: SEAMFORGE-274 URL: https://issues.jboss.org/browse/SEAMFORGE-274 Project: Seam Forge Issue Type: Bug Components: Scaffold Affects Versions: 1.0.0.Beta1 Reporter: Lincoln Baxter III Assignee: Lincoln Baxter III Fix For: 1.0.0.Beta2 http://seamframework.org/162255.lace this pagination code of https://github.com/forge/core/blob/master/scaffold-metawidget/src/main/re..., {code}pagination = new PaginationHelper<xyz.class>(10){code} will get executed every time next button is pressed (as the backing bean is requestscope) hence will not be able to navigate to 3 rd page, this should be bug in my opinion. I have given short term work around for this, let see what experts have to say. {code}public PaginationHelper&lt;(a){entity.getName()}&gt; getPagination(){ if (pagination == null){ pagination = new PaginationHelper&lt;(a){entity.getName()}&gt;(10){ @Override public int getItemsCount() { return count((a){entity.getName()}.class); } @Override public List&lt;(a){entity.getName()}&gt; createPageDataModel(){ return new ArrayList&lt;@{entity.getName()}&gt;(findAll((a){entity.getName()}.class, getPageFirstItem(), getPageSize() )); } }; } return pagination; }{code}
