Hi. I want to make list filtering.
On the page i have some dataTable like

<rich:dataTable var="action" value="#{actionList.resultList}"
 rendered="#{not empty actionList}"
 rowClasses="rvgRowOne,rvgRowTwo" id="actionTable">

For filtering i have selectOneRadio and commandButton like

<h:selectOneRadio value="#{actionManager.actionFilter}">
 <s:convertEnum />
 <s:enumItem enumValue="ALL" label="All" />
 <s:enumItem enumValue="SENT" label="Sent" />
 <s:enumItem enumValue="NOT_SENT" label="Not sent" />
 </h:selectOneRadio>
 <h:commandButton action="#{actionManager.filterActions}" value="Filter"/>

For getting the list of actions i use entity query

@Name("actionList")
public class ActionQuery extends EntityQuery {

 private static final long serialVersionUID = 4880758385999261380L;

 private static final String[] RESTRICTIONS_ALL = { "" };
 private static final String[] RESTRICTIONS_SENT = { "a.sent == 1" };
 private static final String[] RESTRICTIONS_NOT_SENT = { "a.sent == 0" };

 @Logger private Log log;

 @In(required=false)
 private ActionListFilter actionFilter;

 @In
 private ActionManager actionManager;

 @Override
 public String getEjbql() {
 return "select a from Action a";
 }

 public List<String> getRestrictions() {
 log.debug("filter bean: #0",actionManager.getActionFilter());
 log.debug("actionFilter: #0",actionFilter);
 if (actionFilter== null || actionFilter.equals(ActionListFilter .ALL)){
 return new ArrayList<String>(0);
 }
 else if (actionFilter.equals(ActionListFilter .SENT)){
 return Arrays.asList(RESTRICTIONS_SENT);
 }
 else if (actionFilter.equals(ActionListFilter .NOT_SENT)){
 return Arrays.asList(RESTRICTIONS_NOT_SENT);
 }


 return new ArrayList<String>(0);

 }



}

So as you can see above i building the restrictions according to option selected by user on the form. The problem is that the line

log.debug("actionFilter: #0",actionFilter);

return null, but later on the action the filter is not null (see bottom)
So the query is executed before my bean method.
I decided to get the value directly from bean but it is null.
Here are the logs

17:29:03,250 DEBUG [ActionQuery ] filter bean: null
17:29:03,250 DEBUG [ActionQuery ] actionfilter: null
17:29:03,250 DEBUG [ActionQuery ] filter bean: null
17:29:03,250 DEBUG [ActionQuery ] actionfilter: null
17:29:03,281 DEBUG [ActionManagerBean] actionfilter: SENT

For me the query is executed before form params gets updated.
In bean the value is correct.
Is this possible to create sth like this without using @Factory methods ?? (beacuse i this it should work in Factory... but may also not work)...
Anyone had similar problem or maybe know the solution
