dataModel conversion to and from

[lisadesouza89]

When my evaluate returns a generic List<BillItem>:

<evaluate expression="billingService.clearAddItems()" result="flowScope.itemToAddList" result-type="dataModel"/>

Now suppose I want to pass the wrapped flowScope.itemToAddList as a parameter to another, how do I do it?

<evaluate expression="billingService.deleteItems(flowScope.itemToAddList)" result="flowScope.itemToAddList" result-type="dataModel"/>

This above code only works if deleteItems accepts a OneSelectionTrackingListDataModel parameter. Who decided that dataModel meant this? Can I unwrap the dataModel before passing the parameter equivalent to below:

<evaluate expression="billingService.deleteItems(flowScope.itemToAddList.data)" result="flowScope.itemToAddList" result-type="dataModel"/>

PLEASE HELP!!

dataModel is documentation that it returns a DataModel (for use in JSF) instead of a list. There is type conversion going on because you configured it so. If you don't want it to be a DataModel then don't specify it.

You can try the wrappedData property of DataModel (check the jsf javadocs).
