rich faces ajax form - newbie question

[robbrownsell]

Hello,

I'm trying to get just a simple test to work in Richfaces. I'm fairly new to Richfaces but so far I have managed to get a simple rich:suggestionbox to work with little difficulty (so far so good). However, when I submit an a4j:form the whole page is refreshing, not just the component I want re rendered. The form is very simple and is based on the example on the live demo:

<rich:panel >
<a4j:form ajaxSubmit="true" reRender="name" >
<h:panelGrid>

<h:commandButton id = "command" value="Set" action="#{queryBean.toggleName}" />
<h:outputText id="name" value="Name:#{queryBean.objectName}" />

</h:panelGrid>
</a4j:form>
</rich:panel>

I'm running this on Tomcat 5.5 and have tried both jsf 1.1 and 1.2 with this. Does anyone know why this might be happening?

Describe your presice environment please. Whole page should not be refreshed normally.

B.t.w. Why you can't just use a4j:command controls and common form?

Hi, thanks for getting back. I noticed this was happening on a different form so I tried to copy the more basic example on:
http://livedemo.exadel.com/richfaces-demo/richfaces/form.jsf?c=form
(this is why I am using the a4j form).

I am running this on Tomcat 5.5.25 with version 3.1.1 of richfaces and version 1.2 Sun ri version of JSF. My IDE is Netbeans, I'm also using Spring and Hibernate (although not sure if that's relevant).
