yes that fixed it - but i've got a small issue remaining... if the property of the EntityHome.instance was set (no update) and go back to the EntityList.xhtml the edited instance shows the new set value i've got to reload the page and the correct original value is shown... i assume i have todo a refresh on the EntityHome.instance whe i leave with out update right?
