rich:comboBox no value after the 1.submit

[booroo]

Hi there,

I'm a richfaces beginner, so my question might be silly, sorry.
After submitting my form I have no value in my comboBox. After the second submit everything is ok?

What's am I doing wrong? Does anybody have some example code?
Many thanks for helping!




test.jsp:

<a4j:commandButton action="#{reportsFilterController.search}"
value="search" />
.......

<rich:comboBox
value="#{reportsFilterController.applicationFilter}"
directInputSuggestions="true">
<f:selectItems value="#{applicationBean.options}" />
</rich:comboBox>

....

***************
ReportsFilterController.java:

......
public String search() {
System.out.println(applicationFilter);

return "success";
}
......

Not clear for me why you return outcome in your action.. Maybe you should reRender just some result table?

And if you have problems with submitting values ni general - do not forget to insert rich:messages to your pages in order to check some validation/conversion errors.

thank you for your help!

I've a filtermask with some search criteria. the input values of each combobox will be stored in a bean. Depending on the input there are different datatables shown with different attributes.

the outcome in the action was just for a test and is useless.
