Thanks Andrew for quick response. As i am newbie to JSF i would appreciate
code snippet on how to cache the data pre-request as you correctly guessed
the data is constructed inside a get method .
Here is my method in backing bean
public List getManufacturerList(){
logger.info(" *** In getManufacturerList Backing Bean*** ");
List<NamsManufacturer> models = new ArrayList<NamsManufacturer>();
List<SelectItem> manufacturers = new ArrayList<SelectItem>();
models = manufManager.getManufacturerList(); //// Calls
Hibernate/Spring
i.e. database call to retrieve List of Manufacturers
// Iterating thru Loop to wrap into instances of SelectItem so that it
can
be rendered as dropdown
for (int i=0; i< models.size(); i++) {
NamsManufacturer namsManufacturer = (NamsManufacturer)
models.get(i);
Long manufId = namsManufacturer.getId();
String manufName = namsManufacturer.getName();
manufacturers.add(new SelectItem(manufId.toString(),manufName));
}
return manufacturers;
}
Also i would highly appreciate code snippet on how to use the requestMap
from the external context to cache data for
the request to avoid calling twice
Any pointers/suggestions where i can obtain more info will be highly
appreciated
Regards
Bansi
