Hi,

This is something I made based on "blog" example from seam 2.0.0GA (the one I use).

I have such component in my app:

@Name("search")
public class SearchBean {

 private String province;

 private String category;

 @Factory("searchResults")
 public List<Article> search() throws InkaSearchException {
 //get articles based on province and category.
 }

 public String getProvince() {
 return province;
 }

 public void setProvince(String province) {
 this.province = province;
 }

 public String getCategory() {
 return category;
 }

 public void setCategory(String category) {
 this.category = category;
 }

}

search.jsp page looks like this:

<h:form>
 <h:selectOneMenu value="#{search.category}">
 <s:selectItems var="category" value="#{categories}"/>
 </h:selectOneMenu>
 <h:selectOneMenu value="#{search.province}">
 <s:selectItems var="province" value="#{provinces}"/>
 </h:selectOneMenu>
 <h:commandButton value="Szukaj" action="search"/>
</h:form>
<h:dataTable var="art" value="#{searchResults}">
 <!-- display search results -->
</h:dataTable>

And this is pages.xml file fragment:

<page view-id="/search.jsp">
 <param name="category" value="#{search.category}"/>
 <param name="province" value="#{search.province}"/>
</page>

All this behaves strange. When I enter search.jsp page for the first time, searchResults are just initialized and it's ok. But then I set e.g. category to A, and province to B, and hit the button. In debug I can see _first_ factory method is called, and retrieves articles based on still null province and category, _after_this_ province is set to B and category to A. If I change category and province again, lets say to C and D, and hit the button again I can see such actions in debug:
1. category and province set to A and B (old values)
2. factory method called
3. category and province set to C and D.

Why it happens? Why parameters are not set before calling factory method?

Best regards
