Updating a Collection of entities

[trouby]

Hello,
I have an EJB with a collection variable of some entities declared as:

@In(create = false, required=false) @Out(required=false)
 private Collection<myEntity> myEntitiesList;

Before using the outjected collection inside a datatable in the view, I have a previous action that initialize the collection with some content.

I also have action method to update the collection after it gets modified by the view.

I use this EJB for many porpuses so the collection must not be always required.


At the moment I annotate the collection with the @IN annotation, the outjected collection outjected as an empty collection (or maybe not outjected at all, I'm not sure),

At the moment I remove the @IN annotation, the collection is outjected with all of its content, but then, obviously the update method does not work and the collection is not affected by the view modifications.


What am I doing wrong here?

Thanks a lot.

some code snippets would help....

in any case, when you outject a component that compent and it's data is always available in the seam context. hard to say what you need without the code but this is a little more typical...

@In(required=false)
@Out(require=false, scope=ScopeType.XXX)
private Collection<Entity> myEntityList

Show the whole of the code of the bean. You could use a breakpoint in component to see what is being bijected.

Hey,

Thanks, the first reply was helpful, I usually outjected entities that were annotated to a session scope, that is why it always worked fine,

I had to annotate the scope of the collection as session too,


Thanks
