Greetings. Please bear with me as I am relatively new to JSF and RichFaces. I have created a listShuttle Component with sourceValue, targetValue, sourceSelection, and targetSelection collections on the backing Bean. My page also has a "Save" commandButton which I had hoped would be used to persist the changes in the listShuttle.
The issue is that when the action method fires from the commandButton, i would assume the sourceSelection and targetSelection would be populated with the current state of the listShuttle. Right now they remain null. I'm sure it is something I am misunderstanding. Here is the jsp code.
<h:form id="manage_relationships_form" >
<rich:panel id="full" style="width:70%">
<a4j:keepAlive beanName="manageRelationshipsBean"></a4j:keepAlive>
<f:facet name="header">
<h:outputText value="Manage Relationships" />
</f:facet>
<rich:listShuttle id="shuttle" sourceValue="#{manageRelationshipsBean.unassignedDeptFunctions}"
targetValue="#{manageRelationshipsBean.assignedDeptFunctions}"
sourceSelection="#{manageRelationshipsBean.sourceSelection}"
targetSelection="#{manageRelationshipsBean.targetSelection}"
var="deptFunc" listsHeight="300" sourceListWidth="200"
targetListWidth="200"
sourceCaptionLabel="Available Function Codes"
targetCaptionLabel="Assigned Function codes"
copyControlLabel="Add" converter="#{converter}"
orderControlsVisible="false" fastMoveControlsVisible="false"
fastOrderControlsVisible="false">
<rich:column width="18">
<h:outputText value="#{deptFunc.department}" id="deptDisplay" />
</rich:column>
<rich:column width="18">
<h:outputText value="#{deptFunc.functionCode}" id="funcDisplay" />
</rich:column>
</rich:listShuttle>
<a4j:commandButton styleClass="defaultButton" action="#{manageRelationshipsBean.thisIsATest}" immediate="true" value="Save" type="button"/>
</rich:panel>
</h:form>
Thanks in advance.
