Refreshing an Entity in a Nested Conversation
OK-
I have nested conversation going where I show a list or organizations as the root conversation, then click on a organization and display it's details. From there you start a 2nd nested conversation which add's the site. Once I finish adding the site I use a conversation.endAndRedirect(); to pop the outside conversation and return to the view for the organization.
This page which shows the organization has a datatable listing out all the sites.
<rich:simpleTogglePanel switchType="client" label="Sites" opened="#{organization.sites.size != 0}">
<h:outputText value="No Sites exist" rendered="#{organization.sites.size==0}"/>
<rich:dataTable columnClasses="column-center,column-left,column-left,column-left,column-center" width="75%" id="siteList" var="site" value="#{organization.sites}" rendered="#{organization.sites.size != 0}">
<rich:column headerClass="column-center">
<f:facet name="header">Edit Site</f:facet>
<s:link value="Edit Site" action="#{siteUtil.findSite()}">
<f:param name="site_id" value="#{site.id}" />
</s:link>
</rich:column>
<rich:column headerClass="column-left">
<f:facet name="header"><h:outputText styleClass="column-left" value="Name"/></f:facet>
<h:outputText value="#{site.name}" />
</rich:column>
..
....
</rich:dataTable>
This datatable however isn't getting refreshed with the new site that was added. What approach should I be using to accomplish this? Would this be handled by an EXTENDED PersistenceContext? (I'm only using @In EntityManager em; as I don't really understand the different between it and @PersistenceContext)
How can I refresh the organization entity so that the site list is updated?
