@Factory usage

[tonylmai]

Hello,

Borrowed the concept from example "message", I implemented the following Seam component:

@Stateful
@Scope(ScopeType.SESSION)
@Name("orderMgr")
public class PendingOrdersManagerBean implements PendingOrdersManager, Serializable {
 private static final long serialVersionUID = 1L;

 @DataModel
 private List<TdOrderInfo> workingOrders;

 @DataModelSelection
 @Out(required=false)
 private TdOrderInfo orderInfo;

 @Factory("workingOrders")
 @Observer("newOrder")
 public void getPendingOrders() {
...
}

And

@Name("orderInfo")
@Scope(ScopeType.EVENT)
public class TdOrderInfo implements Serializable {
 private static final long serialVersionUID = 1L;
 private OrderInfo orderInfo = null;
 private String lockOwner = null;

 public TdOrderInfo() {}
...
}

However, the method that is marked with @Factory was never called.

What am I missing here?

Thanks

I forgot to mention that the client accesses this component as followed:

<h:dataTable value="#{orderMgr.workingOrders}" var="ord" rendered="#{orderMgr.workingOrders != null and orderMgr.workingOrders.rowCount>0}" >

This table was not rendered as you could imagine if the '@Factory" method was not invoked.

Thanks

Hi Tony,

The @Factory annotation creates a Seam component in its own right, it's not a property of the "orderMgr" bean.

So I think you should use value="#{workingOrders}" in your data table.

Hope it helps,
Daniel.

Context variable, not component. But y'know what I mean ;)

Got it to work. Thanks Daniel.
