Property not found

[haefti]

Hi!
I have this session bean:

@Stateless
@Name("pictureManager")
public class PictureManagerAction implements PictureManager {

     private List<PictureRight> pictureRightList;
     
     private void initPictureRightList() {
            log.info("initPictureRightList()");
            Query query = em.createQuery("select p from PictureRight p order by name");
          pictureRightList =  query.getResultList();
            log.info("Number of rights: " + pictureRightList.size());
     }

     public String editPicture() {
          initPictureRightList();
          if (selectedPicture != null) {
               return "edit";
          } else {
               return null;
          }
     }

     public List<PictureRight> getPictureRightList() {
          log.info("getter called");
          return pictureRightList;
     }

If I press a button in my application editPicture() and initPictureRightList() is invoked which I can see in the log.

I get the Hibernate output of the database query and the log message shows how many items are returned from the database.
I have to assume that the member pictureRightList is not null.

My following view tries to render this data in a select box but I only get a PropertyNotFoundException.

The relevant part of the view:

<h:selectManyListbox size="10" value="#{pictureManager.selectedPicture.pictureRightList}">
     <s:selectItems value="#{pictureManager.pictureRightList}"
     var="pictureRight" label="#{pictureRight.name}" />
     <s:convertEntity />
</h:selectManyListbox>

I don't know where the problem is because it looks pretty similar to the Hello World example (avoiding bijection) from the Yuan-book.

I tried #{pictureRightList} directly and I don't get the exception but the value is null. (I don't know how the variable is transported at all because there is no @Out or is there a implicit outjection?)

What do I have to do to get the data from the pictureRightList  and display it with or without outjection?

Thanks!

Show the local interface.

There are only the two public methods of the session bean:

@Local
public interface PictureManager {

     public String editPicture();
     
     public List<PictureRight> getPictureRightList();

}

I wonder why the getter is never called. (I never see the getter called in the log.)

At the moment I changed it to a factory method which works but there has to be a possibility to get the data directly.

Thanks!

1) Always post the exception with the full stack trace

2) You are missing getSelectedPicture() on pictureManager

Thanks a lot for the answers!

The missing getter in the local interface was the problem.
