CDI @Produces doesn't return value from jsf

[alexander.mayr]

Hello,

I tried to add @Produces to my variables in my backingbean like this:

@Produces



@Named



String selectedCustomerFirstname;

and removed the getters and setters. In my xhtml page I show the value like this:

<p:inputText value="#{selectedCustomerFirstname}" ></p:inputText>

The problem now is that the value gets displayed correctly, but if I change it and submit the form, the backingbean always receives the old value... Does ayone have a solution to this problem?

Hi Alexander,

I think this could never work. #{selectedCustomerFirstname} resolves to an immutable String instance (your producer is dependent and thus the field value is retrieved for every evaluation of the EL expression). So there is no way to propagate your change to the original backing bean when the you submit the form - I mean JSF value binding will not work here. Do you have a reason to use producer field?
