Factory values in a view

[csreeraman]

Hello - Seam Newbie here.

I have an application where I show a list of values that the user can select (using checkboxes). The values are static data from the database. I have also created a class that holds the values from the database as well as a boolean to indicate if it has been selected.

I am using an application scoped factory to get the values from the database (since these values are frequently used) and am using these in a view.

My question is :

Is there a way to capture the values from the view to a backing bean and process the values - ie., on submit - i'd like to see which types were selected etc.

Thanks in advance.

Code Below:

E.G:
table - clienttype - values - {[id=1, type=MM], [id=2, type=BB]}

==== Model
@Name ("clientTypesModel")
public class ClientTypeModel {

        private Clienttype clientType;
        private Boolean selected;
               :
               :

== Factory
@Name("clientTypeFactory")
@Scope(ScopeType.APPLICATION)
public class ClientTypeFactoryManager implements Serializable {

    @In
    private EntityManager entityManager;

    @Factory(value = "clientTypes")
    public void findContingencies() {
        List<Clienttype> clientTypesList = entityManager.createQuery("select clienttype from Clienttype clienttype ")
                .getResultList();

        if (this.clientTypes == null) {
            this.clientTypes = new ArrayList<ClientTypeModel>();
        }
        for (Clienttype ct : clientTypesList) {
            ClientTypeModel ctm = new ClientTypeModel(ct, false);
            this.clientTypes.add(ctm);
        }

    }
              :
              :

view

                        <rich:panel>
                                <f:facet name="header">
                                        <h:outputLabel value="Participant Type" />
                                </f:facet>
                                <rich:dataTable
                                        var="participantType"
                                        value="#{auditManager.clientTypesList}"
                                        style="vertical-align:top">
                                        <rich:column>

                                                <h:selectBooleanCheckbox value="#{participantType.selected}" />
                                        </rich:column>

                                        <rich:column>
                                                <h:outputText value="#{participantType.clientType.name}" />
                                        </rich:column>

                                </rich:dataTable>
                        </rich:panel>

Resolved - I used the el expression in my underlying bean.

@In (value="{clientTypeFactory}"....
