DataModel and Factory Method

[solsticepan.pneuburger.neuburger-edv.de]

Hello,

I am using a @DataModel in my richfaces:datatable with a preloading action method call.
So when I access the page I want to load all the Datas.

so in my pages.xml there is a navigation rule.

page view-id="/mypage.xml"
 action execute="#{myBean.preloadData}" 

so in my xhtml page

richfaces:dataTable value="#{myBean.dataModel}"

in myBean

/** Datentabelle */
@DataModel(scope = ScopeType.PAGE)
private List<Glas> glasDataModel ;

/** Query Class */
@In(create = true ) 
private GlasQuery glasQuery ; 

/** Factory method, I thought to avoid a NullPointer 
* from this hint.
*
* http://docs.jboss.com/seam/1.2.0.PATCH1/reference/en/html/concepts.html#d0e3190
*/
@Factory("glasDataModel")
public void preLoading() {
 glasDataModel = glasQuery.getResultList();
}

but I always get a NullPointer Exception.

so what can I do ??

As far as I know, If you are using annotation @DataModel then you don't need to use @Factory. Because @Datamodel itself is outjecting the variable in seam context.

Secondly your @Factory method has return type void, this seems to be wrong as it should return some value to go in seam context.

Hello,

did you read the Documentation.

http://docs.jboss.com/seam/1.2.0.PATCH1/reference/en/html/concepts.html#d0e3190

then you will see why Iam using the @Factory method with return type void.

One thing is here :

richfaces:dataTable value="#{myBean.dataModel}"

If you annotate a property with @DataModel then it will become context variable, so you do not need to reference the bean. #{glasDataModel} would be enough.

Other thing is that you do not have dataModel property on your bean. You have glasDataModel and it is not even a property (no getter), it's just an attribute.

As to cannot convert exception, it seems in your facelet in some render attribute you call wrong expression. I'm guessing you do this

<sometag ... rendered="#{glasDataModel}"/>

instead of

<sometag ... rendered="#{glasDataModel.rowCount > 0}"/>

Hi Bernard,

you´re right, i had an error in

#{myBean.dataModel}

, so I fixed it. And yes I had an Error in the rendered Attribute. Fixed it also. Everything works fine now.

thanks
