    datatable + binding + conversation problem

    mail.micke

      Hi

      I've never really using binding much, and just ran into a problem which I hope you guys might help me with (even if it isn't a seam issue).

      I have a table which is backed by a bean in a long running conversation, when I use a datatable defined by XHTML it works fine.
      But when I switch to using binding for the datatable I have some problems.

      When using the datascroller for moving to a new page of the data table I get this error (this works when not using binding with the same backing bean):

      SEVERE: JSF1054: (Phase ID: RESTORE_VIEW 1, View ID: /jsf/sdb/binding.xhtml) Exception thrown during phase execution: javax.faces.event.PhaseEvent[source=com.sun.faces.lifecycle.LifecycleImpl@14d948b]
      2008/02/11 09:57:13,194 =========== RESTORE_VIEW 1 Time spent = 0 seconds
      2008/02/11 09:57:13,210 Servlet.service() for servlet Faces Servlet threw exception
      javax.el.PropertyNotFoundException: /jsf/sdb/binding.xhtml @17,45 binding="#{sdb.bindingDataTable}": Target Unreachable, identifier 'sdb' resolved to null
       at com.sun.facelets.el.TagValueExpression.setValue(TagValueExpression.java:95)
       at com.sun.faces.lifecycle.RestoreViewPhase.doPerComponentActions(RestoreViewPhase.java:240)
      


      Why is it that my backing "sdb" bean resolves to null when I use binding?

      Backing bean:
      @Name("sdb")
      @Scope(ScopeType.CONVERSATION)
      public class SingleDealBrowser implements Serializable{
      
       // cut
       private List<PositionDisplayWrapper> allPositionWrappers;
      
       private HtmlDataTable bindingDataTable = null;
      
       @Create
       public void init(){
       System.out.println("SDB init()");
       if(!conversation.isLongRunning()){
       conversation.setDescription("SDB " +cpty +"," +cptyGroup +"," +expType);
       //Lets promote it into a long running one
       boolean status = conversation.begin();
       System.out.println("Tried to begin a long running conversation, status=" +status);
       }
      
       runSearch();
      
       }
      


      XHTML snippet :
       <ui:define name="posListing">
       <rich:dataTable id="posListingTable"
       binding="#{sdb.bindingDataTable}"
       value="#{sdb.allPositionWrappers}"
       style="width:100%;">
       </rich:dataTable>
       </ui:define>
      


      Cheers,
      Micke
