Factory annotation

Hi everyone

I love SEAM but im coming back to it from a long break and im hitting memory blocks and lapse of monkey-ism.

im trying to use the Factory anotation to populate my context variable but all i get is

@Out attribute requires non-null value: candidateHome.genderList

if i use the alternate approach ie annotating a method that has a return value everything works fine.

As allways all help is greatly appreciated

Many thanks Harps

@Name("candidateHome")
public class CandidateHome extends EntityHome<Candidate>
{
	
    @RequestParameter 
    Long candidateId;
    


@Out(scope = ScopeType.SESSION)
public ArrayList genderList;

@Factory(value="genderList", scope=ScopeType.SESSION)
public void retrieveGendersList() {
ArrayList genderList = new ArrayList<String>();
		genderList.add(new SelectItem("MALE"));
		genderList.add(new SelectItem("FEMALE"));
	}





    @Override
    public Object getId() 
    { 
        if (candidateId==null)
        {
            return super.getId();
        }
        else
        {
            return candidateId;
        }
    }
    
    @Override @Begin
    public void create() {
        super.create();
    }
    	

}
