I quickly discovered how I've taken outjection for granted when I got started with the booking example. I instinctively created a @Producer methods to expose the hotels to the UI <h:dataTable value="#{hotels}" var="_hotel">...</h:dataTable. public @Produces @Named @RequestScoped List<Hotel> getHotels() { return hotels; } However, the problem is that before the find() action gets a chance to invoke in response to the user clicking the Search button, JSF has already called on the "hotels" context variable and it is assigned to the request scope. So the UI doesn't see the updated value of the hotels property in the Render Response phase. If this method is on a session-scoped bean, you can perform a redirect after post and then the UI will get the right value. What's the cleanest way to clear the context varaible in the find() method so that the producer runs again in the Render Response phase? -Dan -- Dan Allen Senior Software Engineer, Red Hat | Author of Seam in Action http://mojavelinux.com http://mojavelinux.com/seaminaction http://in.relation.to/Bloggers/Dan NOTE: While I make a strong effort to keep up with my email on a daily basis, personal or other work matters can sometimes keep me away from my email.
