A4J On reRender of a panel: displays old data

[rmcfadden94]

All,
I have a nast JSF question.

My page contains the collowing code.


<a4j:outputPanel>

<c:forEach begin="beginIndex" end="endIndex" items="myItems" var="item" varStatus="itemCounter">
<c:if test="item.isDisplayable">

<myTag:displayItem item="${item}" />


</c:forEach>
<a4j:outputPanel>


When I first enter the page. All of my Items display correctly.

However, when I kick off an a4j:commandLink, I update my beginIndex and my endIndex to signify I want to display a different set of items. The indexes update correctly, and are correctly printed when I reference the value in ${itemCounter.index}.

The problem is, it still displays the data for the previous items.

indexes are updated, but old data is displayed.

I am assuming that when reRender=true, it causes a FULL refresh of all JSF components inside the panel, forcing new ones to be created etc....

any reason why I still get stale data?

Any help will be greatly appreciated.

Hi,

reRender is not something you set to true, but you specifiy the jsf components you want rerendered. So, in this case, you'd want to add an Id to the outputPanel, and specify that for the rerender.
