ValueChangeListener and RenderResponse
Hello all,
I made the following experiment:
I created two JSF pages.
On page 1 I have only one commandLink, withactionListener with the following code:
bean.setProperty("2006");
On page 2 we have only a SelectOneMenu that is bound to the backing bean property #{bean.property}. The selectOneMenu has selectItems bound to a list of "SelectItem"s, representing years (2001, 2002, ... 2006, 2007...)
Additionally, the selectOneMenu has onchange="submit();" javascript attached and immediate = true". Finally, it has a ValueChangeListener attached which does only this:
FacesContext context = FacesContext.getCurrentInstance();
context.renderResponse();
So I do this thing:
1. Open page 1
2. Navigate to page 2 (the actionListener is called)
3. Change the value in the selectOneMenu to 2007 (the ValueChangeListener is called)
4. Navigate back to page 1.
5. Navigate to page 2 (the actionListener is called)
=> The selectOneMenu still has2007selected.
As it can be seen, the ValueChangeListener is NOT called anywhere after step 3. However, if I remove the context.renderResponse() method from the ValueChangeListener and repeat those 5 steps, the selectOneMenu after step 5 has2006selected (so everything is OK).
Do you have any idea why this method RenderResponse called only in step 3 affects the behaviour of the application later?
Best Regards,
Slavi
