property/parameter transmission T-4.1.3

[Ken in nashua <nh...@hotmail.com>]

Folks,
 
I am operating a page that contains a component.
 
Can you confirm my logic?
 
Pages have properties (so I used @Persist)
Components have parameters (so I used @Parameter)
 
Now the interaction/synchronization/update of these properties is performed automatically... right?
 
This is what I got...
 
MyPage.java
@Persist
@InitialValue("ognl:2")
public abstract int getTableSize();
public abstract void setTableSize(int tableSize);
 
MyComponent.java
@Parameter(required = false, cache = true, defaultValue="ognl:2")

public abstract int getTableSize();
public abstract void setTableSize(int tableSize);
 
The binding is specified on the html too
tableSize="ognl:tableSize"
 
These properties/parameters do not persist and get wiped out on refresh or post.
 
???
 
Can someone elaborate on whats going on internally?
 
How could I debug this to see that the page is getting it's values persisted... or whether these persisted values are even making it into the component and updated bidirectionally from/to the page/component during edits.
Thanks in advance.
Best regards Ken in nashua
