Null Session Action and Outjected variables
Ok, I have been trying to find out why the tsYear property and the outjected value are both null when the page is rendered.
Here is the xhtml:

SimpleDateFormat sdf = new SimpleDateFormat("d MMM");

}
}

}
public void setViewable(Boolean viewable) {

}
}
I have stepped through the code and tsYear has a value in the action and seam.debug shows a value for tsYear in the session scope but it does not display on the page and the areas that are conditionally rendered based on it are not displayed.
I have spent a day trying to figure this out and I am hoping another set of eyes will quickly see what I have overlooked.
Thanks in advance for any and all help!
Earnie!
