I thought I'd figured JSF out, at least how to view data. The managed
bean Beatles has a List<Beatle> with correct data -- at least it shows on
the tomcat logs correctly. From experience, the trio of pages (template,
index and table) do generate output correctly. (In this case,
beatleTemplate.xhtml, index.xhtml and view.xhtml, for the record.)
Is there perhaps an additional requirement to "prime the pump" with
regards to the backing bean Beatle? The constructor for Beatle was never
called, despite Beatles.java having a List<Beatle>, I cast a List<String>
to List<Beatle> and then logged the resulting List to confirm its
correctness.
As it's indeed a List<Beatle>, and I *believe* the .xhtml clients and
template to be correct (enough to generate output in the past), why
aren't they generating output currently?
I'll go back to manually creating a few Beatles just to confirm that, of
course.
Somewhat lengthy code to follow:
