You may want to try to make the searchResults list managed, i.e, remove the @DataModel annotation, write getter/setter for the searchResults list and do not forget to also write them in the business interface. Access searchResults using bookSearch.searchResults. (I assume the name of your action bean is "bookSearch", you may need to adjust it accordingly. ) View the original post : http://www.jboss.com/index.html?module=bb&op=viewtopic&p=4066956#...
