a4j:support reRendering components in a different form?
Is it possible to rerender a component that resides in a different h:form?
I have tried
reRender="formName:componentName"
but get an illegalArgumentException
ex
<h:form id="form1">
<h:selectOneMenu id="requestType_input" value="#{serviceRequest.requestType}">
<s:selectItems var="type"
label="#{type.requestTypeDescription}"
value="#{allRequestTypes.resultList}"/>
<s:convertEntity/>
<a4j:support event="onchange" reRender="requestDetail_Form:complaintType_select" ajaxSingle="true"/>
</h:selectOneMenu>
</h:form>
<h:form id="requestDetail_Form">
<h:selectOneMenu id="complaintType_select" value="#{sectionComplaintType}">
<s:selectItems label="#{complaint.complaintTypeDescription}"
value="#{serviceRequest.requestType.complaintTypeList}"
var="complaint"/>
<s:convertEntity/>
</h:selectOneMenu>
</h:form>Here is the stack trace
