DataList and indexed properties

[Charbel Abdul-Massih]

I have a simple problem...I display a list of phone numbers on a page,
each in its own text field, to be updated by the user.  The bean
handling this functionality is request scoped.  The bean's name is
"editPhone". 

 

The JSF looks like this:

 

<t:dataList value="#{editPhone.skillGroupSites}" var="site"
layout="simple">

<tr>

            <td>

                  <t:inputText value="#{site.device.value}" size="15"
id="Phone">

                        <f:validateLength minimum="10" maximum="15"/>

                  </t:inputText>

</td>

           <td>

                 <t:inputText value="#{site.label}" size="25"
id="Label"/>

           </td>

</tr>

</t:dataList>

 

The backing bean editPhone has the following members on it

 

private ArrayList skillGroupSites;

 

with the proper getter and setter...

 

When a user updates the phone numbers through the "site.device.value"
text field, the value is not being set properly...in fact it's NULL.  I
tried using saveState, but that saved the old values before the update
that's coming from the web.  Anyone know how to solve this??

 

Thanks,

Charbel
