I'm developing portlets which are to be implemented with Seam. However, as each portlet can exsist in several instances on one page there are some challenges.
For example, I want to iterate over a list. I use h:dataTable which works fine. However, since I want to use s:link with a parameter to the action of which is the current item in the iteration I need to have the list exposed as a DataModel (according to user guide section 33.1.2).
I thought the pattern with manager component described in section 4.8 was exactly what I needed, but when I do that the component which expose the DataModel doesn't even get loaded (as the DataModel has the same name as the manager component)
I think I've tried all different variants, like using but I just can't get @DataModel and @Unwrap to work together. If I use the normal DataModel/Factory pattern it works but then I don't have suffient control to make it work with several portlet instances.
What would be the correct pattern to use to solve this problem. Is it possible to solve with Seam?
