Why doesn't ReRendering work on componentBindings?

[eivind1]

Hi!

I tried to post this question on the RichFaces user list, but didn't get any replies there so I try here instead.

I have a question when it comes to reRendering.

If I have a h:outputText with a valuebinding pointing to a backing-beans property, I can reRender this outputText if I my value in bb change.

But If I have a h:panelGrid with componentBinding, and in the getter of the HtmlPanelGrid I add an OutputText-component programmatically, I can't reRender the HtmlPanelgrid with it's children. The getter for the componentBinding is never asked.

I've also tried to put my panelGrid inside an a4j:panel with ajaxRendered="true", but this didn't help me either.

Am I missing something obvious here or shouldn't this work? :)

So, this works:

<h:inputText id="myinput" value="#{userBean.name}">

 <a4j:support event="onkeyup" reRender="outtext" />

 </h:inputText>

 <h:outputText id="outtext" value="#{userBean.name}" />

But this doesnt:

 <h:inputText id="myinput" value="#{userBean.name}">

 <a4j:support event="onkeyup" reRender="outPanel" />

 </h:inputText>

 <h:panelGrid id="outPanel" binding="#{userBean.panelGrid}">
 </h:panelGrid>

//----------------------------- JAVA code for componentBinding ---------------

public HtmlPanelGrid getPanelgrid()
{
 HtmlOutpuText out = new HtmlOutputText();
 out.setValueExpression(FacesContext. getCurrent...........#{userBean.name}......);

 panelGrid.getChildren().add(out);

 return panelGrid;

}

userBean should be request scoped.
