The component do not work with selection binding. No calls to getter or setter of bean at all.

providing a large part of then the component, maybe it may be important.

public class FilterMBean extends ExtendedDataModel {
 private List<Filter> filters = new ArrayList<Filter>();
 private Selection selection = new SimpleSelection();
....
 public List<Filter> getFilters() {
 return filters;
 }

 public void setFilters(List<Filter> filters) {
 this.filters = filters;
 }

 public Selection getSelection() {
 log.info("getSelection");
 return selection;
 }

 public void setSelection(Selection selection) {
 log.info("setSelection");
 this.selection = selection;
 }
}
