Populate Datatable from DynamoDB - jsf

Question

Im trying to populate a JSF Datatable with data that I am retrieving from a DynamoDB Table (The Amazon NoSQL DB). At the moment everything is working fine right up to the Iteration over the scanResults. The debugger shows that my scanResult has a list of all the accounts but when I try to iterate over those results in order to construct my List nothing seems to be added to the allUserSummary List and I end up with a nullpointer exception.
The basic User POJO:
public class User {
private String uuid;
public User(String uuid) {
this.uuid = uuid;
}
}
The managed bean:
private List<User> allUserSummary;
private List<String> uuid;
private User selectedUser;
public List<User> getAllUserSummary() throws Exception {
populateData();
return allUserSummary;
}
private void populateData() throws Exception {
// Create a new AmazonDynamoDBClient and mapper
AmazonDynamoDBClient client = dynamoClient.getDynamoClient();
DynamoDBMapper mapper = new DynamoDBMapper(client);
try {
// Create a new scan expression and filter to find the required data from the db
DynamoDBScanExpression scanExpression = new DynamoDBScanExpression();
Map<String, Condition> scanFilter = new HashMap<String, Condition>();
Condition scanCondition = new Condition().withComparisonOperator(ComparisonOperator.NOT_NULL);
scanFilter.put("uuid", scanCondition);
scanExpression.setScanFilter(scanFilter);
// Run the scan
List scanResults = mapper.scan(UserAccounts.class, scanExpression);
// Iterate over the scanned results and add the required data to a new User
for (Iterator it = scanResults.iterator(); it.hasNext();) {
allUserSummary.add(new User(scanResults.get(1).toString()));
}
} catch (Exception e) {
// TODO
}
}
The Datatable (Im using primefaces but the problem is the same with standard JSF DT):
<h:form>
<pou:dataTable id="users"
var="user"
value="#{accountManager.allUserSummary}"
paginator="true"
rows="10"
selection="#{accountManager.selectedUser}">
<f:facet name="header">
UUID
</f:facet>
<pou:column selectionMode="multiple" />
<pou:column headerText="Uuid">
#{user.uuid}
</pou:column>
<f:facet name="footer">
<pou:commandButton id="multiViewButton"
value="View"
icon="ui-icon-search"
update=""
oncomplete=""/>
</f:facet>
</pou:dataTable>
</h:form>

Answer 1

here you go...
Set values into update="" and oncomplete="" or remove them from your button...
<pou:commandButton id="multiViewButton"
value="View"
icon="ui-icon-search"
update=""
oncomplete=""/>
EDIT
try the following changes :
private List<User> allUserSummary = new ArrayList<User>();
.
.
.
#PostConstruct
public void populateData() throws Exception {
.
.
.
.
public List<User> getAllUserSummary() throws Exception {
return allUserSummary;
}
