[jbossseam-issues] [JBoss JIRA] Closed: (JBSEAM-2334) @DataModelSelection: allowing for initial value

@DataModelSelection: allowing for initial value ----------------------------------------------- Key: JBSEAM-2334 URL: http://jira.jboss.com/jira/browse/JBSEAM-2334 Project: JBoss Seam Issue Type: Feature Request Affects Versions: 2.0.0.GA Reporter: Marc Lustig Priority: Critical @DataModel private List<Area> areas; @Out @DataModelSelection private Area selectedArea; @Begin public String begin() { selectedArea = new Area(3); } The above code sets an initial value for the selectedArea (=preselection). However, after leaving the @Before-annotated method, Seam overwrites selectedArea with the first item of List<Area>. Hence, it is impossible to set an initial value, which is a basic requirement for web-UIs.
