selectOneMenu and selectItems; getting null

[Stas Melnychenko]

I have selectOneMenu item on my page

<h:selectOneMenu id="performer" value="#{CreateItem.performer}" > <f:selectItems value="#{CreateItem.performersList}" var="performer" itemLabel="#{performer.login}" itemValue="#{performer}" /> </h:selectOneMenu>

And I have backbean:

    private User performer;

    public User getPerformer() {
	System.out.println("getPerformer = " + performer);
	return performer;
    }

    public void setPerformer(User performer) {
	this.performer = performer;
	System.out.println("getPerformer = " + performer);
    }

    private List<User> performersList;

    public List<User> getPerformersList() {
	return userService.getUsers();
    }

    public void setPerformersList(List<User> performersList) {
	this.performersList = performersList;
    }

   public void createItem() {
	System.out.println("Is performer null: " + (performer == null));

	System.out.println("Enter " + performer.getId() + " " + description
		+ " " + dueDate);

	Long creator_id = (Long) SessionAccess.getCurrentSession()
		.getAttribute("currentId");

	System.out.println(creator_id + " " + performer.getId() + " "
		+ description + " " + dueDate);

	Item item = userService.createItem(creator_id, performer.getId(),
		description, dueDate);

	System.out.println("Is item null: " + (item == null));
    }
I see list in drop box, but performer is always null. What I miss?

I made some change with same result

<h:selectOneMenu id="performer" value="#{CreateItem.performerId}"> <f:selectItems value="#{CreateItem.performersList}" var="performer" itemLabel="#{performer.login}" itemValue="#{performer.id}" /> </h:selectOneMenu>

    private Long performerId;

    public Long getPerformerId() {
	System.out.println("performerId = " + performerId);
	return performerId;
    }

    public void setPerformerId(Long performerId) {
	this.performerId = performerId;
	System.out.println("performerId = " + performerId);
    }

    public void createItem() {
	System.out.println("performerId = " + performerId);

	Long creator_id = (Long) SessionAccess.getCurrentSession()
		.getAttribute("currentId");

	Item item = userService.createItem(creator_id, performerId,
		description, dueDate);

	System.out.println("Is item null: " + (item == null));
    }

And value is still null.

I figured out, that setter never called.

I remove immediate=true from my submit button.
Work fine!
