<a4j:support action does not rerender

[blochaou]

I'm using a4j:support in a <h:selectOneMenu. The components i render in my page depends on the item the user select in the combobox. When the user select an item, i call a function in by backing bean and render the right component. I noticed that <a4j:support call the function but nothing is render in my page. here is my code:

 <rich:panel>
 <f:facet name="header">
 <h:outputText value="#{Bundle.TEXT_INSCRIP}"/>
 </f:facet>
 <div>
 <rich:message showSummary="true" showDetail="false" styleClass="errorMessage" for="registerForm"/>
 </div>
 <h:panelGrid cellpadding="3" width="500px" columns="3">
 <h:outputLabel styleClass="label" value="#{Bundle.NAME}"/>
 <h:inputText id="name" size="30" required="true" value="#{RegisterBackingBean.currentUser.nom}"/>
 <rich:message styleClass="errorMessage" for="name"/>

 <h:outputLabel styleClass="label" value="#{Bundle.SURNAME}"/>
 <h:inputText id="prenom" size="30" required="true" value="#{RegisterBackingBean.currentUser.prenom}"/>
 <rich:message styleClass="errorMessage" for="prenom"/>
 <h:outputLabel styleClass="label" value="#{Bundle.USERNAME}"/>

 <h:outputLabel styleClass="label" value="#{Bundle.PASSWORD_CONFIRM}"/>
 <h:inputSecret binding="#{RegisterBackingBean.secondPassword}" id="passwordConfirm" size="31" required="true"/>
 <rich:message styleClass="errorMessage" for="passwordConfirm"/>
 <h:outputLabel styleClass="label" value="#{Bundle.EMAIL}"/>
 <h:inputText id="email" size="30" required="true" value="#{RegisterBackingBean.currentUser.email}">

 <f:selectItems value="#{RegisterBackingBean.regionItems}"/>
 <f:converter converterId="regionConverter"/>
 <a4j:support event="onchange" immediate="true" action="#{RegisterBackingBean.regionListener}"/>

 </h:selectOneMenu>

 <h:outputLabel id="departementLabel" binding="#{RegisterBackingBean.departementLabel}" rendered="false" styleClass="label" value="#{Bundle.DEPARTEMENT}"/>
 <h:selectOneMenu rendered="false" binding="#{RegisterBackingBean.departementMenu}" value="#{RegisterBackingBean.currentUser.departementidDepartement}" id="departement">
 <f:selectItems value="#{RegisterBackingBean.departementItem}"/>
 <f:converter converterId="departementConverter"/>
 </h:selectOneMenu>

 <h:commandButton action="#{RegisterBackingBean.registerUser}" value="#{Bundle.REGISTER}" />
 </h:panelGrid>
 </rich:panel>

There is nothing rerendered if you do not specify a reRender attribute for for a4j:support tag.

<a4j:support event="onchange" action="#{RegisterBackingBean.paysListener}" reRender="regionMenu"/>

assuming that you add an ID attribute to <h:selectOneMenu> like

<h:selectOneMenu id="regionMenu" ...>

Check the developer guide for details ...

make support ajax single in order no to submit the second one which depends on the first. The article about this already present at wiki.
