You could use the event model provided by Seam. In the updateuser bean simply raise an event: ... | public void updateUser() { | ... | Events.instance().raiseEvent("userUpdated", user); | } | ... Listen for that event in a method in your getusers component: ... | @Observer("userUpdated") | public void updateDataModel(User user) { | // update the associated user in users2 | } | ... Another option if you don't want to pass the user that was updated through the event, you could simply re-execute the factory method and use the @RaiseEvent annotation on the updateUser() method. Hope that helps. View the original post : http://www.jboss.com/index.html?module=bb&op=viewtopic&p=4112323#... Reply to the post : http://www.jboss.com/index.html?module=bb&op=posting&mode=reply&a...
