How can I bind an entity bean inside a SFSB to a JSF component in seam?

alessandro.montanari Mar 14, 2012 4:09 AM

Here the explanation: I have a SFSB that looks like this:

@Stateful
@Name("contentManager")
@Scope(ScopeType.CONVERSATION)
public class EditContentBean implements IEditContent 
{
    private Content content = null;

    ...Getter and setter...
}

and I use it into a JSF in this way

...
<h:inputText size="100" value="{contentManager.content.title}" />
...

where title is a String property of Content (with getter and setter).

When I display the page everything works (I can the see the right title) but when I submit the form in the JSF (I call a method in the bean that save the content), the new value present into the inputText is not copied inside the content, so I get the old title.

Is it possible to do this? The display works, so?

Thanks in advance!

PS. I read that this is possible in the book "Java Persistence with Hibernate" in the chapter 17 "Introducing JBoss Seam". But it doesn't work!

Hey omid, thaks,
I can't try it (i'm not from my laptop) but I think that there is a problem:
the Content class is abstract, so if I remember well Seam will prompt some errors because it can't instantiate the class, right?

The hierarchy is:
Content (abstract)
|
|--Category (concrete)
|--...
|--Material (concrete)
|--Information (concrete)
Actions
