row input field "not posted"? when submitted from within a m

[koenhandekyn]

in the first code snippet below the input variable (marked in bold) is not assigned or posted when comming from within a (rich:)modelPanel. [ snippet 1 ]

when posted directly from within the column the input variable is assigned well. [ snippet 2 ]

thanx for helping me understand.

snippet 1 : [ doesn't work ]

<rich:column>

<rich:modalPanel id="modelPanel" minHeight="200"
minWidth="450" height="200" width="500"
zindex="2000">
<f:facet name="header">
<h:outputText value="Approve Invoice"/>
</f:facet>
<f:facet name="controls">
<h:graphicImage
value="/images/modal/close.png"
style="cursor:pointer"
onclick="Richfaces.hideModalPanel('mp')"/>
</f:facet>

<h:inputText
value="#{task.variables['invoice'].approvedBy}"
style="width: 100px">
</h:inputText>

<s:button action="#{invoiceApproval.approve}"
taskInstance="#{task}" value="Approve"/>

</rich:modalPanel> <a
href="javascript:Richfaces.showModalPanel('modelPanel',{width:450, top:200})">
approve

</rich:column>


snippet 2 : [ works well ]

<rich:column>

<h:inputText
value="#{task.variables['invoice'].approvedBy}"
style="width: 100px">
</h:inputText>

<s:button action="#{invoiceApproval.approve}"
taskInstance="#{task}" value="Approve"/>

</rich:column>

there is also a warning :

There should always be a submitted value for an input if it is rendered, its form is submitted, and it is not disabled or read-only.
