1) Thank you. I missed that when I made this simpler bean to test. (the change had no effect though - still not output).
2) Yes I fixed the beans setter to String. (I've tried this with and without a managed property - same result) 3) Yes. There is none. The original bean used an SQL Query. I just wanted to see if a simple bean would instantiate. 4) Yes. That's what I expected. 5) No exceptions (although changes in the layout do change the output - so it's not a caching or the lack of seeing my changes). 6) Are you saying put the 400 on the first or second gridLayout (I put it on the 2nd and now I don't see the tables headers even). Thanks for helping with this... John -----Original Message----- From: Volker Weber [mailto:[EMAIL PROTECTED] Sent: Wednesday, January 25, 2006 4:14 AM To: MyFaces Discussion Subject: Re: Managed beans not being instantiated Hi John, there are some problems in your example code: 1. your bean has no setter for property hithere! public void setHithere() {...} is no valid setter. You need a arg (of type String in this case). 2. I think your managed-property declaration can't be right. You have a declared property with name hithere of type com.jak.EMP.QuarantineBean with value String? But your bean has no setter for hithere neither for String nor for com.jak.EMP.QuarantineBean. 3. I can't see any initialisation for property testData. If not initialized you will get is a sheet with no rows. 4. the return type of getTestData() (the value of the sheet) is String[]! So while rendering the rows the var bean 'quar' will contain a single string. There are no properteis like 'sender', 'recipient' ... on String. If you realy run this code, with properly initialzed testData, you *must* have a lot of Exceptions in the log files. If you run this code without initialzed testData, but fixed managed bean declaration you should have a text ("Hello out there") and a box with a empty sheet (5 columns but no rows) rendered. BTW: the height attribute (on the box) takes precedence over the layout constraint '3*', but is not considered on layout calculation. If you want to have the box 400px height you should set this in the rows declaration: <t:gridLayout rows="2*;400px"/> and not in the box.
