It turns out that the selection isn't even correct on the funky.jsp page. I added an outputText to the page: <h:outputText value="#{projectEditor.selectedIssue.shortDescription}"/> <h:commandButton action="#{issueEditor.selectIssue}" value="#{messages.View} #{messages.Issue}"/> and it always displays the description of the first issue, regardless of which button is pressed. What am I doing wrong? View the original post : http://www.jboss.com/index.html?module=bb&op=viewtopic&p=3966202#...
