Guys, I appreciate the help... is it possible collection is getting clobbered in between somewhere the event ? I mean I walked thru debugger and logged a statement too and saw with my eyes that collection is loaded and allocated and established in @SetupRender public void setupRender() { itemsPerPage = new Integer("50"); try { collection = loadCollection(collectionType); } catch (Exception e) { logger.error("error loading data on collection gallery"); } }
so the initialization of my collection variable seems to be happening fine and i actually see the entity rendered within the gallery... it runs and comes up and is displayed. I didnt think that persisting this variable was needed beyond it being operated as a property on Home.tml (the page) and a parameter in Gallery.tml (the component)... so i think i modeled it properly. I would hate to think Integer is the issue... but changing that doesnt seem to shake anything out. But I am starting to think that integer is getting clobbered somewhere in the @Property space and tripping up the @Property eFrastructure maybe I need the @Persist ? I will give it a shot but I am just looking for some reason here for this... maybe I need to stop using Integer ? I have downloadSources=true in my maven but unable to step thru all of the core code Thanks if you have any ideas on how to shake this out
