Using <framework:entity-query> for populating <s:selectItems>

[ambrish_kumar]

Hi Everyone,

I have written an Entity Query in components.xml file as shown below:

<framework:entity-query name="rolesLists"
                ejbql="select r from UserRole r" />

and then I am populating an <s:selectItems> list with this rolesList as shown here :

<h:selectOneMenu value="#{userAction.userRole}" required="true" >
<s:selectItems value="#{roleLists.resultList}" var="role"
label="#{role.strTitle}" noSelectionLabel="#{messages.defaultListItem}" />   <s:convertEntity />
</h:selectOneMenu>

Now my problem is that when the page is load, then the userAction.getUserRole() method is called as many times as the items in the select list, i.e; the size of rolesLists.

getUserRole() method returns an Entity of type UserRole.

What should I do so that the getUserRole() method is called once.?

Any help would be appreciated.

Thanks & Regards

Ambrish

You cannot do anything about this. This is how JSF works. There are work being done in JSF 2 to prevent the need of all phases to be asked when you use rendered.
