Eureka Thanks Georges, didn't think about trying out the other Seam capabilities. The data model annotation don't work (needs to be a known collection), but @Out-jecting it did. | @Out | private HtmlDataTable bindingDataTable = null; | | @Factory("bindingDataTable") | public void createBindingDataTable(){ | bindingDataTable = populateDataTable(); | } | Still, I would prefeer not to outject it unless I have to. Is this a bug in Seam, Seam-devs what do you think? Micke View the original post : http://www.jboss.com/index.html?module=bb&op=viewtopic&p=4128758#...
