I can do that, but is it possible though to have a bean with an @In and @Out then set the @In parameter when I load the page? Basically it would be great if I can just do something like: #{customerProductList.customer = customerHome.instance} in my view. (.customer being the @In of customerProductList) Then my datatable would check the @Out three times instead of firing off three db queries. Has anyone ever experienced the same situation?
