Greetings:
I will start out by saying I am coming from a struts background. When I
program struts every one of my applications started out with kicker.do.
This action is where I loaded up collections of DTO's (ejb 2). Then in
my jsp pages I would use these collections to display menus (drop downs)
and other things.
Now that I have switched to (or am trying to) JSF, I dont understand how
I can access my database data. For example, I have a page main.jsp and
on that page I want to have a JSF data table. I have a session facade
bean that returns a collection of DTO's that I want in the table, how do
I access this collection from my page? In the old scheme I would load
the collection into a session scoped variable and then just iterate over
it. Is there some way I can tell my data table to invoke my session ejb
facade bean? I am really confused.
Thanks in advance for any pointers
troy
