a4j:commandButton does not rerender rich:datatable
after migration to JSF 1.2 (from myfaces 1.1.5) rerendering of rich:datatable is broken. Since rerendering of the standard datatable is still
working, it seems there is something wrong in rich:datatable.
I used the following environment for the test:
- Apache Tomcat 6.0.13
- JSF 1.2 RI (jsf-1.2_04-b10-p01)
- Richfaces 3.0.2-SNAPSHOT
- ajax4jsf 1.1.2-SNAPSHOT
The following test case proofs that the standard datatable rerenders as expected if the command button is clicked but rich:datatable is empty...
