@ManagedProperty does not reflect changes and keeps returning null

import javax.faces.applicati         


        

Answer 1

I just came across the same problem, and found out by chance, that it is not working, if I try with firefox (actually icedove under linux), but well working, if I try with the eclipse build-in browser.

Even so this does not make sense to me, have you tried with different browsers already?

michal777's answer is very well working. I have extended it to this:

    @ManagedProperty("#{nameBean}")
private NameBean nameBean;  
public NameBean getNameBean() { return nameBean; }
public void setNameBean(NameBean nameBean) { this.nameBean = nameBean; }

public NameBean getNameBean_Workaround() {
    FacesContext context = FacesContext.getCurrentInstance();
    return (NameBean) context.getApplication().evaluateExpressionGet(context,"#{nameBean}", NameBean.class);
}

and later on:

    if (nameBean != null) {
        nameBean.setName("achsooo");
    }
    else {
        getNameBean_Workaround().setName("achsooo2222");
    }

Now, in the eclipse browser "achsooo" gets set, and in icedove "achsooo2222" gets set.
