ObjectListDataProvider populates table in IDE but not in page when run
I have created a custom ObjectListDataProvider class based on "Using Listbox Components" tutorial (http://developers.sun.com/prodtech/javatools/jscreator/learning/tutorials/2/li stbox_components.html).
I add a provider to the SessionBean as described in the tutorial.
I bind a Table on a page to the provider property in the SessionBean1.
Oddly, the data displays in the Table in the IDE window, but when I execute my web application, instead I get "no items found".
For test purposes I'm using static data just as described in the tutorial.
Why would the IDE display data from my provider, but the page not be able to display or retrieve data when the web app is executed?
Thanks in advance, Rebecca

Because the listbox components tutorial does not use object list data providers, it is hard to help you because I don't know how you added the provider to the session bean and how you wrapped the data with the object list data provider.

Thank you - I found the answer to my issue in a few technical articles.
When using a provider the IDE will display data through the provider. This was a little misleading because it makes it look as if the provider is all set and no add'l configuration is needed. However, to actually get the data into the provider additional steps are needed and the .setList() function must be explicitly called (even if you've created your own provider and setList() from w/in the constructor).
