I am getting null when I put transient keyword for a list. How can I resolve this error?

Hi Subramanyam,

Using “transient” or “static” keyword to declare the list will not be transmitted as part of view state for Visualforce page hence it becomes null each time Visualforce Page gets Refreshed.

Remove that and you are ready to go.

[Static & Transient variables are not saved in the viewstate and hence are get lost after a http invocation]

Thanks.

Remove the transient keyword for List and you must be good to go. If you are hitting view state error. Try using maps instead of lists.
