Problem in JavaBeans as a backing bean?

[ziphyre]

Hi,

The following code give me an empty table, while removing the @Name annotation and placing managed-bean lines in faces-config.xml does the work. From what I have read in the Seam doc, JavaBeans can be used as backing beans. So I obviously getting something wrong.

.xhtml:

<h:dataTable value="#{plannerEvents.eventList}" var="event">
        <h:column>
                <h:outputText value="#{event.name}"/>
        </h:column>
</h:dataTable>

JavaBean:

import java.util.List;

@Name("plannerEvents")
public class PlannerEventsBean {
   private List<Integer> eventList;

   public PlannerEventsBean() {
      eventList = new ArrayList<Integer>();
      eventList.add(3);
      eventList.add(6);
      eventList.add(2);
   }

   public List<Event> getEventList() {
      return eventList;
   }
   public void setEventList(List<Event> eventList) {
      this.eventList = eventList;
   }
}

If I remove the @Name annotation and add managed-bean definition to faces-config.xml, it works...

I guess plannerEvents component is never created, probably because it is never scanned by Seam. You can check it on /debug.seam page. Do you have seam.properties file in your archive?

Thank you Pawel,

There is no error on the page, so I cannot see the debug page

But you are right anyway. I'm using a jboss tools generated ear project. The above code is from the main project, not from ejb project. I have moved the whole package from there to the ejb project and now It's OK.
