Seam component not getting called when in default conversati
I am having a problem with what I would have thought would be a very simple use of seam. I have a Stateful component (using ejb's) and when I put the component in default scope it doesn't work however in session scope it does. Here is the code;
Stateful
//@Scope(ScopeType.SESSION)
@Name("userList")
@Restrict("#{identity.loggedIn}")
public class UserListImpl implements UserList {
private static final int PAGESIZE = 10;
@PersistenceContext
private EntityManager em;
private String searchUsername;
private int pageNo = 0;
@DataModel
private List<User> users;
public void findUsers() {
System.out.println("findUsers:" + pageNo);
pageNo = 0;
loadCurrentPage();
}
private void loadCurrentPage() {
System.out.println("loadCurrentPage:" + pageNo);
String searchPattern;
if (searchUsername == null) {
searchPattern = "%";
} else {
searchPattern = '%' + searchUsername.toLowerCase().replace('*', '%') + '%';
}
users = em.createQuery("from User where lower(username) like :searchPattern")
.setParameter("searchPattern", searchPattern)
.setMaxResults(PAGESIZE)
.setFirstResult(pageNo * PAGESIZE)
.getResultList();
}
public String getSearchUsername() {
return searchUsername;
}
public void setSearchUsername(String searchUsername) {
this.searchUsername = searchUsername;
}
public boolean isNextPageAvailable() {
return ((users != null) && (users.size() == PAGESIZE));
}
public boolean isPrevPageAvailable() {
return (pageNo > 0);
}
public void nextPage() {
System.out.println("nextPage:" + pageNo);
pageNo++;
loadCurrentPage();
}
public void prevPage() {
System.out.println("prevPage:" + pageNo);
pageNo--;
if (pageNo < 0) {
pageNo = 0;
}
loadCurrentPage();
}
public int getPageNo() {
System.out.println("getPageNo:" + pageNo);
return pageNo;
}
public void setPageNo(int pageNo) {
System.out.println("setPageNo:" + pageNo);
this.pageNo = pageNo;
}
@Create
public void create() {
System.out.println("create:" + pageNo);
}
@Remove
@Destroy
public void destroy() {
System.out.println("destroy:" + pageNo);
}
}

The problem arises when I attempt to use the "Next Page" button. With the component in session scope it works fine however with the component in default conversation scope the userList.nextPage method is never called. Here is a copy of the sysout;
18:29:16,234 INFO [STDOUT] create:0 18:29:16,265 INFO [STDOUT] getPageNo:0 18:29:16,281 INFO [STDOUT] setPageNo:0 18:29:16,343 INFO [STDOUT] getPageNo:0 18:29:16,359 INFO [STDOUT] destroy:0
Has anyone got any ideas as to why this occurs? I will be creating heaps of these components and I don't want to have to stick them all in the users session since that would be a waste of server resources.
Thanks in advance
