Having the following code:

<h:dataTable value="#

" var="user">
<h:column>
<h:outputText value="#{user" />
</h:column>
</h:dataTable>

public class MyBean {

private List<User> users;
//getters and setters for users
}

public class User {

private String userName;
//getter and setter for userName
}

--------------------------
When the project is seam project and the class MyBean is annotated with @Name("myBean"), the CA in the dataTable works as expected.

When the project is seam project and the class MyBean is NOT annotated with @Name, but it's defined as managed bean in faces-config.xml there is CA only for the var of the datatable, but not for the properties of the var - see pic1.jpg
