Ok. I understand why PAGE scope is appropriate, and recognize why it's the right scope for my finder bean. A conversation isn't required until an item in the list is selected for editing. A SFSB can't have PAGE scope (right?), so I assume the DataModel should. So my finder bean now looks like this:
@SuppressWarnings("serial") | @Stateful | @Name("organizationFinder") | public class OrganizationFinderBean implements OrganizationFinder, Serializable { | | @PersistenceContext | private EntityManager em; | | @In (required=false) | @Out (required=false) | private Organization organization; | | @DataModel(scope=ScopeType.PAGE) | private List<Organization> organizations; | | @DataModelSelection | Organization selectedOrganization; | | @Logger | private Log log; | | @SuppressWarnings("unchecked") | @Factory | public void getOrganizations() { | organizations = em.createQuery("select o from Organization o order by o.name") | .getResultList(); | } | | @Begin | public String newOrganization() { | organization = new Organization(); | return "newOrganization"; | } | | @Begin | public String selectOrganization() { | organization = em.merge(selectedOrganization); | return "editOrganization"; | } | | @Remove @Destroy | public void destroy() {} | } and my dataTable looks like this: <h:dataTable id="organizations" value="#{organizations}" var="o"> | <h:column> | <f:facet name="header">Prefix</f:facet> | #{o.prefix} | </h:column> | <h:column> | <f:facet name="header">Name</f:facet> | #{o.name} | </h:column> | <h:column> | <f:facet name="header">Legal Name</f:facet> | #{o.legalName} | </h:column> | <h:column> | <f:facet name="header">Action</f:facet> | <s:link id="editOrganization" value="Edit" | action="#{organizationFinder.selectOrganization}"/> | </h:column> | </h:dataTable> When I select an item in the list I get the following exception: javax.ejb.EJBException: java.lang.IllegalArgumentException: attempt to create merge event with null entity Based on a post I just saw, I think I'll try injecting the DataModelSelection directly into my edit bean. It seems though, based on prior comments and reading the docs, that the above should work. I assume I'm missing something stupid... Any ideas will be much appreciated.
