modalpanel suggestionbox and a4j:repeat
Hi
I have a page that includes a modalpanel which in it there is a h:table with a4j:repeat on its 's.
in each there is an inputText with a suggestion box.
opening the modalPanel once which only has one iteration in it (so there is only one suggestionbox) all works fine. when opening the second time in a different situation which results in two iterations in the modalpanel thus having two suggestion boxes, the first of them, suggest the old values in the popup from the previous modalpanel.
I have looked in the forum and found out that adding
<a4j:ajaxListener type="org.ajax4jsf.ajax.ForceRender"/>inside the suggestionbox will solve the problem, so I did. and it did. only this created a new problem!!, now when submitting the form in the modal panel, I get an error: "view state couldn't be restored...". searching the forum again, I found post that looks similar which concluded that it was fixed in a4j1.1.1+rich3.0.1.
well I use the above versions, and it does not help
if I remove the reRender of some components in the parent page of the modalPanel, which occurs after the form submit, it does not happen.
attached are some code snippets.
thanks,
