[jboss-user] [JBoss Seam] - Missing something basic with regards to bijection

Hey there, Suppose you have a Stateful bean called "PersonManager" that handles both the CRUD and search features for the "Person" entity. I'm using Session scope. I have the following in the "PersonManager" | @DataModel | List<Person> people; | | @DataModelSelection | Person selectedPerson; | | // Person property | private Person person; | public void setPerson(Person person) { this.person = person; } | public Person getPerson() { return person; } | | public void clickPerson() { | person = selectedPerson; | return "edit"; | } | When I display a clickable data table with a command link to clickPerson, the selectedPerson does get injected into the PersonManager. I then assign this to the "person" property. Now if I go to a page to edit the Person, expressions like #{personManager.person.firstName} fails. HOWEVER, if I use an expression like #{personManager.selectedPerson.firstName} it works. Why doesn't it stick when I copy the selectedPerson to the property? -Michael PS: I'm using the edit page to also create new people. This is why I wanted to bind the edit page to a property and not a selected item. View the original post : http://www.jboss.com/index.html?module=bb&op=viewtopic&p=4036455#...
