Good catch Anton. I commented out my data access code and hard code the return of a list of op objects and it works. Which proves that you can access lists from within lists without backing beans which is where I thought things were going wrong..
Now I've just got to work out why my data access code is failing given it's the same as for the getJobs() in my outer loop!!!
