@Out(jected) list Scope problem

[superfis]

Hello,

I've got a code as shown below.

Seam action (using in long running conversation):

@Stateful
@Name("action")
class ActionImpl implements Action {
...
 @Out( required = false, scope = ScopeType.EVENT )
 private List<SomeBean> someList

 @Factory("someList")
 public void someListFactory {
 // hiere the list is filling up
 someList = ...
 }
}

There is also xhtml somePage page which uses someList variable stored in EVENT context. When I invoke somePage page first time, someList list is filling by factory method and it's ok. EVENT scope is to provide values for one somePage display only. Another displaying this page should refreshing someList but it doesn't happen.

I need refreshed data. How to solve this problem? It can't be refreshed (by factory method) even if I come back to this page from another one in the same conversation.
It happens only if it's first showing somePage in new conversation.

Regards,
Slawek

AFAIK, what you describe is not a problem, but absolutely normal behaviour of the @Factory. If you need refreshing, you have to do it in action handler.

The value of the context variable someList will only last for each request BUT the value of someList in the action component will last for the entire conversation. For the factory method to run the component value must be null as well.

Either make the component stateless or set someList to null in an action method.

Or else mark the instance variable @In(required=false) @Out
