[jboss-user] [JBoss Seam] - Re: Semantics of @Name, @DataModelSelection

The fact that the RequestParameter annotation is commented out is a little disconcerting. The pid attribute will not be set unless you uncomment the @RequestParameter annotation (which will directly inject the value) or add an entry in your pages.xml which will call your set method such as, | <pages> | <page view-id="/person.xhtml"> | <param name="pid" value="#{manager.id}"/> | </page> | ... | </pages> I also do not see where fan is being outjected to the page so I don't know where your id would be coming from. Are you providing a list of persons and then the user can edit a person from the list? If you are looking to achieve a RESTful URL here (which is the only reason I could think of for doing it this way), an easier way to accomplish this would be... @Stateful | @Name("manager") | public class ManagerAction implements Manager { | | @RequestParameter | Long pid; | | @In (required=false) @Out (required=false) | private Person person; | | @DataModel | private List <Person> fans; | | @Factory(value="person") | public void loadPerson(Long pid) { | if (pid != null) { | person = (Person) em.find(Person.class, pid); | } else { | person = new Person (); | } | } | ... | Also note that you will not be in the same conversation when the Person is loaded because you are using a general link <a href ...>. Any conversation state will not be propagated. Hope that helps. View the original post : http://www.jboss.com/index.html?module=bb&op=viewtopic&p=4090375#...
