How to choose the right bean scope?

Closed 7 years ago.
So, I am loading a list from H2 database to be shown, and it is updated with data from form on previous page. The datatable is update only once in session, after I submit form first time. If I reset tomcat server, all the data submitted in last session will be shown. I will upload all the code that I consider relevant,:
Managed bean, with the TaskList datatable:
#ManagedBean
#SessionScoped
public class TaskListController {
private List<Task> taskList;
private Task task;
#PostConstruct
private void init() {
taskList = TaskServiceDatabase.taskList();
}
public String loadFirstPage() {
return "createNewTask.xhtml";
}
public List<Task> getTaskList() {
return taskList;
}
//getters and setters
Tasklist method:
public static List<Task> taskList() {
List<Task> taskList = new ArrayList<Task>();
try {
taskList = DatabaseUtils.fetchTask();
} catch (Exception e) {
e.printStackTrace();
}
return taskList;
}
Fetch task method is communicating with database, I am fairly certain this works properly, if it is needed, I can add it.
And here is the.xhtml file:
<h:form id="form">
<p:dataTable id="taskTable" var="task" rowIndexVar="taskNumber"
value="#{taskListController.taskList}" paginator="true" rows="10"
paginatorTemplate="{CurrentPageReport} {FirstPageLink} {PreviousPageLink} {PageLinks} {NextPageLink} {LastPageLink} {RowsPerPageDropdown}"
rowsPerPageTemplate="5,10,15">
<p:column>
<f:facet name="header">
<h:outputText value="Surname" />
</f:facet>
<h:outputText value="#{task.user.surname}" />
</p:column>
<p:column>
<f:facet name="header">
<h:outputText value="Name" />
</f:facet>
<h:outputText value="#{task.user.name}" />
</p:column>
<p:column>
<f:facet name="header">
<h:outputText value="Username" />
</f:facet>
<h:outputText value="#{task.user.username}" />
</p:column>
<p:column>
<f:facet name="header">
<h:outputText value="Project name" />
</f:facet>
<h:outputText value="#{task.project.projectName}" />
</p:column>
<p:column>
<f:facet name="header">
<h:outputText value="Company name" />
</f:facet>
<h:outputText value="#{task.project.companyName}" />
</p:column>
<p:column>
<f:facet name="header">
<h:outputText value="Task description" />
</f:facet>
<h:outputText value="#{task.description}" />
</p:column>
<p:column>
<f:facet name="header">
<h:outputText value="Time (h)" />
</f:facet>
<h:outputText value="#{task.time}" />
</p:column>
</p:dataTable>
<h:commandButton action="#{taskListController.loadFirstPage}"
value="Return" update="form" />
</h:form>
So, what did I do wrong?

Changing scope of bean to ViewScoped solved the issue
