I have multiple elements on a page and I would like to initialize them using PageFactory.

I have tried using following

@FindBy(xpath = "//*[contains(@class,'x-grid-tree-node-leaf')]")    
    List<WebElement> allElements;

but this returns only one element.

now, if I use the traditional way for finding elements

List<WebElement> allElements = driver.findElements(By.xpath("//*[contains(@class,'x-grid-tree-node-leaf')]"));

this returns 4 elements

any pointers what could be the issue?
