My thinking was that for every function call on my SFSB, SEAM would inject currentCategory from the SESSION, let it be changed by the SFSB and outject it back to the SESSION. No, it outjects into the specified scope, or if unspecified, the scope of the parent component. @In and @Out have no effect on the operation of each other. anonymous wrote : | | ... | | @DataModel | | private List<Category> categories; | | | | @DataModelSelection | | private Category selectedCategory; | | | | ... | | | | @Create | | public String init() | | { | | if (currentCategory == null) | | { | | currentCategory = (Category) em.createNamedQuery("Category.findRoot").getSingleResult(); | | } | | return "success"; | | } | | | | ... | | | | public void select() | | { | | currentCategory = selectedCategory; | | return; | | } | | | | ... | | View the original post : http://www.jboss.com/index.html?module=bb&op=viewtopic&p=4053297#...
