Rerender after validation errors

[dencel]

The problem is that an input component will not rerender after a validation error occured.

Example code:

<a4j:commandButton action="validate" value="validate"/>
<a4j:region>
 <h:inputText>
 <a4j:support action="#{testView.doTest}" event="onkeyup" reRender="test"/>
 </h:inputText>
</a4j:region>
<h:inputText value="#{orderView.test}" required="true" id="test">
 <f:validateLength minimum="2"/>
</h:inputText>

Handling 1(works): type something in first textbox, validation is ignored,:test is rerendered everything works.
Handling 2: click validate button, and try handling 1. :test doesn't get updated.

My question is: how do you people handle this problem? I think the only way is to reset the submitted and local value of UIInput using component binding, but I don't like this approach.

Can anybody help me?

Sorry but not sure that understand your clearly.

As I understood - if you press a button - validation fails - so no new value will be applied and old one will be shown. It's right.

If I miss something - describe detailed step by step what you need to see and what happened.

I am sorry, you are missing a key part.

public void doTest()
{
 this.test="you are now valid";
}

Situation 1: you type something in field 1 and field2 shows "you are now valid"
Situation 2: button gets clicked, validation fails, you type something in field 1, the model gets updated, but field 2 remains blank.

I've solved this by itterating through the viewroot and setting the submittedvalues of UIInput elements to null. But I don't think this is a nice solution.
