primefaces dataTable with inputText

Question

I have the following dataTable:

<p:dataTable var="indentifier" value="#{identifierBean.identifiers}">
        <p:column>
            <f:facet name="header">
                <h:outputText value="#{indentifier.key}" />
            </f:facet>
            <h:outputText value="#{indentifier.key}" />
            <p:inputText id="userValue" required="true" value="#{identifier.userValue}">
            </p:inputText>
        </p:column>
    </p:dataTable>

and the commandButton

    <p:commandButton            
        value="Search" ajax="false" action="#{identifierBean.saveIdentifiers}">     
    </p:commandButton>

The identifierBean is the following:

public class IdentifierBean {
private List<Identifier> identifiers;
private String country;
private List<Patient> patients;
public IdentifierBean() {
    identifiers = new ArrayList<Identifier>();

}

public IdentifierBean(List<Identifier> identifiers) {
    this.identifiers = identifiers;
}

public List<Identifier> getIdentifiers() {
    return identifiers;
}



public void saveIdentifiers(){
    try {           
        System.out.println("-"+this.identifiers.size()+"-");
    } catch (Exception ex) {
        //ex.printStackTrace();
    }

}

public void setIdentifiers(List<Identifier> identifiers) {
    this.identifiers = identifiers;

}

public String getCountry() {
    return country;
}

public void setCountry(String country) {
    this.country = country;     
    Vector vec = Service.getCountryIdsFromCS(this.country);
    for (int i = 0; i < vec.size(); i++) {
        Identifier id = new Identifier();
        id.setKey(Service.getPortalTranslation(
                ((SearchMask) vec.get(i)).getLabel(),
                LiferayUtils.getPortalLanguage()));
        id.setDomain("");
        this.identifiers.add(id);
    }
    System.out.println("-"+this.identifiers.size()+"-");
}

public List<Patient> getPatients() {
    return patients;
}

public void setPatients(List<Patient> patients) {
    this.patients = patients;
}

}

The table has one row (that means that identifierBean has one element in identifiers list), but when I try to use the identifiers list in the saveIdentifiers method it is empty. Any help? Thank you very much!!!

When the setCountry method is called, it creates one element in the list, but when I try to print the size of the list in saveIdentifiers it returns 0 — loubas
I have these two annotations in my class ManagedBean RequestScoped — loubas

RequestScope is too narrow. See BalusC's description of scopes.
