Ajax problem, ReRendered being called before Ajax updates mo

[fatlever]

Hi,

I have a problem. I am using richfaces ajax functionality to update the model beans but the ajax methods to update the model are being called AFTER the components are re-rendered.

To be specific my class that implements the ExtendedDataModel has the

public void walk(FacesContext context, DataVisitor visitor, Range range, Object argument)

The walk() method always gets called before the Ajax call updates the model.

<a4j:commandLink immediate="true" action="#{recognitionDataModel.doSort}" reRender="recognitionView"/>
 <f:param name="sortField" value="REFERENCE_ID" />
</a4j:commandLink>

So the sort method of the dataModel is called but only AFTER the table has been rerendered so the sorting is always a step behind.

I have the same problem with other components that have methods to render/encode them.

Any help would be greatly appreciated. Thanks

Answers. I just found the section in the doco that deals with this. Put the component that needs to be re rendered insiden a4j:outputPanel layout="none" and re render the output panel, not the component
