Problem of c:forEach and seam outject

[damnh.damnh.aureole-net.com.vn]

Hi,
I have problem with c:forEach and @Out. My source code is following

pages.xml

        <page view-id="/login.xhtml">
                <navigation from-action="#{identity.login}">
                        <rule if="#{identity.loggedIn}">
                                <redirect view-id="/test.xhtml"/>
                        </rule>
                </navigation>
        </page>

        <page view-id="/test.xhtml">
                <begin-conversation join="true"/>
                <action execute="#{Bean.initialize}"/>
        </page>

Bean.java

@Stateful
@Name("Bean")
public class Bean implements BeanLocal {
        @Out(required = false)
        private List<TestDto> testList;

        public void initialize() {
                testList = new ArrayList<TestDto>();
                .........
                // add values to testList
                .........
        }

        /**
         * Destroy
         */
        @Remove
        @Destroy
        public void destroy() {

        }
}

test.xhtml

..........
<table cellpadding="0" cellspacing="0" border="1" width="100%">
        <c:forEach var="t" items="#{testList}">
                <tr>
                        <td height="50px">#{t.value}</td>
                </tr>
</table>
.............

If I use @Out for testList, page display nothing. But if I create getter/setter for testList, this page display my data.

If using getter/setter for testList, test.xhtml is following

test.xhtml

..........
<table cellpadding="0" cellspacing="0" border="1" width="100%">
        <c:forEach var="t" items="#{Bean.testList}">
                <tr>
                        <td height="50px">#{t.value}</td>
                </tr>
</table>
............

Is it bug of c:forEach, I don't understand, please help me, I want to use @Out. Thank you.

Hi

The outjection is only working if the bean declaring it is called. Else nothing is happening.

What you want is either a @Factory or an @Unwrap. I normally prefer factories for data that has to be cleanly called from the pages. Together with the correct scopes and observers this can be a quite powerful and maintainable solution.

Hi,
Thank you so much for your reply. The method initialize() called before page is rendered. I think in this case the Bean is called. Is it right?

[antibrumm.mfrey0.bluewin.ch]

Aye true. It is called through the pages.xml. The problem is not that the outjection is not working i would say. C foreach is used to build the jsf tree. Im not sure if this happens before the outjection but this could be the issue. You can trace this easily. In case you want just to initialize this var before it is called i would go for the factory.
