[jboss-user] [JBoss Seam] - Re: Problems Nesting <h:dataTable>

[gzoller]

These classes can't derive from DataModel.  In the real project they're Entities and have their own class hierarchy. Any solution needs to be a separate concern from the entity object model. 

Based on some examples I saw in my seam-gen code I'm trying something a little different.  I'm passing the entity id as a <f:param> in the <s:link> element.  This is working on the outermost table but now my inner objects aren't rendering.

Here's my code:


  | 	<ice:dataTable id="departmentListResults" width="100%" cellspacing="1"
  |                   value="#{departmentList.resultList}" 
  |                   var="dept">
  |               <ice:column>
  | 			<ice:dataTable id="projectListResults" width="100%" cellspacing="1"
  |                                value="#{dept.projects}" var="proj">
  |                         <ice:column>
  |                              <!-- This is where my s:link and f:param would normally go...if the rendering was working. -->
  | 			     <ice:outputText value="Nothing here" rendered="#{proj == null}"/>
  | 		             <ice:outputText value="#{proj.projectId}" rendered="#{proj != null}"/>
  |                         </ice:column>
  |                         </ice:dataTable>
  |              </ice:column>
  |         <ice:dataTable>
  | 

departmentList is the seam-gen EntityQuery object that pulls back a list of Department objects (@Entity).  Within each Department is a Set (1-m relationship between Department and Project).

I get a javax.faces.el.PropertyNotFoundException on proj.projectId.  I can output just "#{proj}" and get something like this: com.foobar.spurs.model.Project at 1bf446e, so I know there's a non-null Object there and its type is Project.  

So why am I getting an exception when I try to access any of Project's properties?  (There are full JavaBean getters/setters for each property I'm trying to access thanks to seam-gen.)

The strange thing is this rendering was working fine when my objects were trivial (non-Entity) classes, and I could easily access properties from the "inner" list (proj in this example). 

Many thanks in advance for any ideas!
