Awesome it worked first time i tried. OK i have a suggestion or just brainstorming for what was produced initially by seam-gen in my code. For example in the xhtml it had this <s:decorate id="entryaDecoration" template="layout/edit.xhtml"> | <ui:define name="label">entrya</ui:define> | <h:inputText id="entrya" | size="45" | maxlength="45" | value="#{activityHome.instance.entrya}"> | <a:support event="onblur" reRender="entryaDecoration"/> | </h:inputText> | </s:decorate> i had to change the value from that to this "#{activity.entrya}" . so whats up with the *Home.java that our seam-gen creates? whats it purpose? Maybe i am not seeing something i should take into consideration. View the original post : http://www.jboss.com/index.html?module=bb&op=viewtopic&p=4039486#...
