a4j support not rendered

[fabmars]

Hello
I'm using RF 3.1.4 and richFaces and JSF 1.2.04 or 1.2.08 (RI) and Facelets (1.1.14) on Glassfish for a long time now.

I've come across a strange problem recently. I know this problem is due to something i did wrong, because I have another project wth similar pages where all is running well. I can't figure out what is wrong.


Here's my page:

<a4j:keepAlive beanName="plop"/>
 <h:form id="plopForm">
 <a4j:status startText="Thinking..."/>
 <rich:messages showSummary="false" showDetail="true"/>

 <h:panelGrid>
 <h:selectBooleanCheckbox id="plopCheck" value="#{plop.value}" required="true">
 <a4j:support event="onchange" ajaxSingle="true" reRender="plopValue"/>
 </h:selectBooleanCheckbox>

 <h:outputText id="plopValue" value="#{plop.value}"/>
 </h:panelGrid>

 <a4j:log/>
 </h:form>

and here's my Plop bean:

public class Plop {
 private boolean value;

 public boolean isValue() {
 return value;
 }

 public void setValue(boolean compilation) {
 this.value = compilation;
 }

}

Now here's the checkbox in my generated page:

<input id="plopForm:plopCheck" type="checkbox" name="plopForm:plopCheck" />

This way, anyone would understand nothing gets sent thru ajax, neither updated. The same appears if the even is "onclick" or if I replace the checkbox by a combobox.
On the other hand if I put some a4j:commandButton or rich:suggestionbox into the page, it will work!

Any idea, mr/ms/mrs RF wizards ?

what does required="true" means in case of checkbox ?

[sergeysmirnov]

it should be onclick.
onchange is fired in IE only when the field is left

Thanks Serguy.
onclick, i tried, but it's the same result.

The most curious is the rendered html....no Ajax stuf at all !!

For the record, that was -as foreseen in my initial post- something I had done wrong !

I had replaced my JSF libs in Glassfish by hand, not using the installer jar they provide in JSF's download area.
I made it the proper way and it all worked perfect then.
