Hi, I dont know if this will solve your problem but try calling the action when your page displays to force it, example: | <page view-id="/restricted/createBid.xhtml" action="#{BidAction.addBidItem}"> | This action event occurs everytime you view the createBid.xhtml page. On another note, I noticed that you need to be careful especially handling the @DataModel. You may not have encountered it but I experience you need to re-initialize it so if you have updates on your list it will be refreshed. It seems it is caching data. I'm pretty new with JBoss Seam myself so I dont have a full understanding yet of the technology.
