René, did you solve this problem? PLEASE, tell me if you did!! I'm struggling with that tree for days now. Even the simplest test with a Backing bean defined in faces-config does not work, it might not have to do with your sfsb. After having subclassed the ChildPropertyModel to add some debugging output I guess that after the constructor, nothing else happens on the ChildPropertyModel. sonja View the original post : http://www.jboss.com/index.html?module=bb&op=viewtopic&p=3983040#...
