trouble calling rerender on an inputtext element with ajax4jsf
I'm trying to do something with Ajax4jsf that seems like it should be very simple. I have an input field ("longitude") and, when an onkeyup event fires within it, I want to change the value of another input field ("ownership"). The idea is that the onkeyup in "longitutde" fires the "loadOwnership" method that sets the "ownership" property. Currently it sets it to a current datstamp for testing purposes and outputs a notice that I have hit the method. However, when I type in the "longitutde" field, the "ownership" field does not change and nothing prints to standard out. I do have the bean set to "session" scope, can anyone see what I'm doing wrong?
Thanks,
Alex
