rich:calendar dataModel in seam

[pedalshoe]

Hi,
my env is:
Seam 2.1.1.GA
JBoss 4.2.3.GA
jdk1.5.0_15
RichFaces version bundled with Seam 2.1.1.GA.

I'm using the rich:calendar tag in a SEAM application.  I have a war file and the dataModel was defined in a jar file that I have included both in an ear file.  I'm referencing the example at:
http://livedemo.exadel.com/richfaces-demo/richfaces/calendar.jsf?c=calendar&tab=usage

I made a component out of the CalendarDataModel so that it will resolve to the CalendardataModelImpl class as seen here:

@Name("calendarDataModel")
public class CalendarDataModelImpl implements CalendarDataModel {
:
}

But I get the following error in the web application:

javax.el.PropertyNotFoundException: /acct/calendar/calendarIndex.xhtml @69,84 value="#{calendarDataModel.currentShortDescription}": Target Unreachable, identifier 'calendarDataModel' resolved to null

But the calendarBean packaged in the same jar is recognized.

Is there anything I missed?  Please advise.

in order to resolve the issue I moved common-beanutils.jar and richfaces-api.jar to the lib directory of the ear file.

I'm now able to see the calendarDataModel working initially and all the day items get loaded correctly.
Now, I tried to update a day item, I get the following error after I click on "Store" on the "Edit day:" popup:

Caused by javax.el.PropertyNotFoundException with message: "/acct/calendar/calendarIndex.xhtml @69,84 value="#{calendarDataModel.currentShortDescription}": Target Unreachable, identifier 'calendarDataModel' resolved to null"

It seems like the calendarDataModel went out of scope and seam can't find it.

I answered my own post.
Like I said it seems like the calendarDataModel went out of scope and it did.
Just set the scope type when outjecting the data model:

@Out(scope=ScopeType.SESSION)
private CalendarDataModel calendarDataModel = CalendarDataModelImpl.getInstance();
