Hmmm.. but the problem comes in later. I do | <f:subview | rendered="#{currTopic.class.name eq 'csir.structure.par.CMSTopic'}"> | bla bla bla | | Which works very well to display a specific thing based on the class type. Issue is that because of this manipulation, those that have been manipulated are of the wrong type.... So why are only some of them manipulated ? Very curious.
