Hi! I'm using an EntityHome-object which I'm using to view Employees on a viewEmployee.xhtml page, using in pages.xml with no problems. My problem now is that I want to use viewEmployee.xhtml to view an Employee based on a unique employement-number instead, and that's where I run into problems. This is my current attempt, where I first find the corresponding id, and then try to load viewEmployee.xhtml the usual way: (foo.xhtml) | <h:form> | <h:inputText id="employmentNumber" value="#{employmentNumber}"/> | <h:commandButton id="find" value="Find" action="#{employeeDao.findByEmploymentNumber}"/> | </h:form> | (components.xml) | <fwk:entity-query name="employeeIdByEmploymentNumber" | entity-manager="#{entityManager}" | ejbql="select e.id from Employee e"> | <fwk:restrictions> | <value>employmentNumber = #{employmentNumber}</value> | </fwk:restrictions> | </fwk:entity-query> | (EmployeeDao.java (Extends EntityHome)) | public String findByEmploymentNumber() { | EntityQuery eQuery = (EntityQuery)Component.getInstance("employeeIdByEmploymentNumber"); | Long l = null; | if(eQuery.getResultCount() > 0) | l = (Long)eQuery.getSingleResult(); | if(l != null) { | setId(l); | return "found"; | } else { | facesMessages.add("Not found!"); | } | return ""; | } | (pages.xml) | <page view-id="/foo.xhtml"> | <navigation from-action="#{employeeDao.findByEmploymentNumber}"> | <rule if-outcome="found"> | <redirect view-id="/viewEmployee.xhtml"> | <param name="employeeId" value="#{employeeDao.id}" converterId="javax.faces.Long"/> | </redirect> | </rule> | </navigation> | </page> | The id is a Long, and the employmentNumber is a String. This all works, except that I get LazyInitializationExceptions in viewEmployee.xhtml when trying to render connected entities. If I just reload the "An Error Occurred:"-page, though, everything works perfectly. So somehow, my solution closes the session that I'm keeping the Employee in. I'm not sure if this is a good solution for this at all, so any help or suggestions would be greatly appreciated. :) /uke View the original post : http://www.jboss.com/index.html?module=bb&op=viewtopic&p=4076693#...
