Hi, I have a page that contains two forms, one for search and one for save/update. If I use a single entity instance for both forms, everything works well enough, but the search field is sync'd with the save/update field. If I try to have two entity instances (one for the search form, one for the save/update form) I get a:
javax.el.PropertyNotFoundException: /lender.xhtml @22,71 value="#{searchLender.lenderCode}": Target Unreachable, identifier 'searchLender' resolved to null
LenderManagerAction:
@In
private Lender searchLender;
@In
private Lender lender;
@In
private FacesMessages facesMessages;
public String search()
{
Query query = entityManager.createNamedQuery(Lender.class.getSimpleName() + ".findByCode");
query.setParameter("lenderCode", searchLender.getLenderCode());
try {
lender = (Lender)query.getSingleResult();
} catch (NoResultException e) {
logger.info(e.getMessage());
facesMessages.add("Lender not found for code: " + searchLender.getLenderCode());
return null;
}
return PAGE_LENDER;
}
lender.xhtml:
<h:panelGrid columns="2" rowClasses="prop" columnClasses="name,value">
<h:outputLabel for="searchLender">Lender Code</h:outputLabel>
<h:inputText value="#{searchLender.lenderCode}" size="6"/>
</h:panelGrid>
<div class="actionButtons">
<h:commandButton type="submit" value="Search" action="#{lenderManager.search}"/>
</div>
All I have to do to make this work is remove "searchLender" from the session bean, and point the search form to the common "lender" entity. Is there a problem with having two instances of the same entity type?
Thanks,
Jon
