skip validation but apply values to model?

[deanhiller]

I am using a:commandButton and a table of fields. Each time you hit the button, it adds a new row with new fields to fill in. When I write text into the fields and then click the button, all my text dissappears. The button I am using is this...

<a:commandButton id="addField" value="Add an Input Field"
 action="#{editScript.addVariable()}" reRender="variables"
 ajaxSingle="true" bypassUpdates="false" />

None of my values in the table are applied. I see them being fetched though, and I see the server going through all the phases including update model values!!!...

Here is my table....

<s:div id="variables">

 <s:div rendered="#{node.variables.size==0}">
 Currently, this question has no input fields.<br/>
 Please click Add an Input Field to add one.
 </s:div>
 <h:dataTable id="variablesTable" border="1" value="#{node.variables}"
 var="field" rendered="#{node.variables.size>0}">
 <h:column>
 <f:facet name="header">Label</f:facet>
 <!-- we should dcorate this to add error messages??? -->
 <h:inputText id="label" value="#{field.label}" required="true">
 </h:inputText>
 </h:column>
 <h:column>
 <f:facet name="header">Stored as</f:facet>
 <!-- we should dcorate this to add error messages??? -->
 <h:inputText id="name" value="#{field.name}" required="true">
 </h:inputText>
 </h:column>
 <h:column>
 <f:facet name="header">Actions</f:facet>
 <a:commandButton id="removeField" value="Remove"
 action="#{editScript.removeVariable(field)}" reRender="variables"
 ajaxSingle="true" bypassUpdates="true" />
 </h:column>
 </h:dataTable>
</s:div>

The getLabel and getName are called exactly for how many rows I have in the table but setLabel and setName are not called at all...why is this?
thanks,
Dean

well, I am not even sure how I fixed it. It had something to do with the a:region and I don't really understand how, but I got the values to stick

Now if only my remove button worked(I changed it to byPassUpdates=false)
but now when I remove from a list of aaa, bbb, ccc and remove bbb, it
does not work. bbbb is removed from the list of beans but in the GUI
it displays aaa and ccc even though I see seam framework reading out
the values of aaa and ccc from the list, not sure what is going on here.

I have no clue why but I needed ajaxSingle=false

Man, I feel like I am shooting in the dark here on fixing this stuff.
I just don't understand it well enough.

Hello,

Try to use process attribute. It should point to the list of ids of components (data formats are the same as reRender accepts) that should be handled together with that ajaxSingle component.
