    records in database table not display in dataTable

      Hi,

      First of all, I apologize if this question has already been asked before. I have been struggling to get the simply search list to work with my current project using Seam with Ajax4JSF. I pretty much follow the example in HotelBooking to implement my search function. I have dumped a lot of output at different breakpoint in the code and traced all the way to the .xhtml page. It seems, the dataTable is not displaying the actual rows even though I was able to get the number of records from the database. The column headers rendered probably, but just no data being displayed below. I am not sure what i did wrong and greatly appreciated any enlightenment.

      My Search code are the followings:-

      package action;
      import static javax.persistence.PersistenceContextType.EXTENDED;
      import static org.jboss.seam.ScopeType.EVENT;

        • 1. Re: records in database table not display in dataTable

          And here is the log output when empty searchString is sent to the application.
