Hello again.

<c:forEach> does not work. Just that. I use almost vanilia project generated by seam-gen.

In bean:

@Stateful
@Name("navigation")
@Scope(ScopeType.SESSION)
public class Navigation implements NavigationInt
{
...
@DataModel
private List<Module>  core_modules;
...

@Factory("core_modules")
public void loadAllowedModules()
{
  String qStr = "select m from Module m";
  core_modules = entityManager.createQuery(qStr).getResultList();
}

public List<Module> getAllowedModules()
{
  if (core_modules == null) loadAllowedModules();
  return core_modules;
}
...
}

Interface, of course, have loadAllowedModules() and getAllowedModules().

Entity:
@Entity
@Name("module")
@Scope(ScopeType.SESSION)
@Table(name = "adm_modules")
public class Module implements Serializable
{
  ...
  @Column(nullable = false, length = 50)
  private String            name;
  ...

  ...
  /**
   * Get the name.
   * @return The name.
   */
  public String getName()
  {
    return name;
  }

  /**
   * Set the name.
   * @param _name The name to set.
   */
  public void setName(String _name)
  {
    name = _name;
  }
  ...
}

  Look ma! This is c:forEach iterating from 1 to 10.<br/>
  <c:forEach var="i" begin="1" end="10" step="1">

  <a4j:repeat var="oneModule" value="#{core_modules}">

  Look ma! This is c:forEach using List of Modules.<br/>
  <c:forEach var="oneModule" items="${navigation.allowedModules}">

</ui:composition>

Effect:
Look ma! This is c:forEach iterating from 1 to 10.
Next number:

Look ma! This is a4j:repeat using List of Modules.
Next entry: module.test.moduleName
Next entry: admin.user.moduleName

Look ma! This is c:forEach using List of Modules.
Next entry:

As you can see, a4j:repeat works in this simple example, but not c:forEach. For sure there are two entries in core_modules. This behaviour is strange: writes "Next entry:" once and thats it. Someone would think that will write nothing or two empty lines with "Next entry:"...

I want to use these tags to generation of module list in menu with help of rich:dropDownMenu and rich:menuItem. And a4j:repeat does not work with drop down menu (shows only one-pixel dot). From internet i know that drop down menu should work with c:forEach.

I use SEAM 2.1.0.SP1, JBoss 4.2.3 and Eclipse 3.4.1.
