Hi Pete, sorry for that i actually forgot the problem ... What i mean by doesn't work is that the working solution correctly displays the values from userList in the HTML page that is rendered and the other one, the doesn't work solution, shows a blank screen. That is with the exact same facelets page shown, so i really do just change the code that i posted ... PS.: Nearly forgot the holidays :) View the original post : http://www.jboss.com/index.html?module=bb&op=viewtopic&p=4116130#...
