[Seaside] trouble with callbacks

[Julian Fitzell]

Yes, lazy initialization can cause problems because of when the 
snapshots are taken and rolled back.  You may find your component rolled 
back to a point before the variable was initialized again.

But more important is the fact that you are using #call: from within 
your render method which is a no-no.  You will often see #call: inside a 
render method but it should always be within a callback block which 
won't actually be executed until the next execution phase.  Once we have 
begun rendering, the component tree has been determined and calling out 
to another component causes problems.

It seems like what you want here is a task.  Create a subclass of WATask 
and add a #go method.  In the #go method, you can have conditional 
application logic and calls out to several other components to do work 
for you (the final one being, presumably, a call to your batched list 
component).  Seems like that should be closer to what you are trying to 
achieve...
