ReRender problem with Richfaces 3.2.2.SR1

[damianharvey]

I have a a4j:region on a page and inside that an inputfield and a button. When the button is clicked the panel surrounding the region should reRender.

This works under Richfaces 3.2.0.GA and under Richfaces 3.3.0.GA. However under 3.2.2.SR1 the method finishes but the page is never updated.

I can't find any mention in the JIRA of this being fixed (but it is). The obvious solution is to upgrade my application to 3.3 however it would be nice to know what the story is with this as it's fairly major (at least to me). Is this a known issue with 3.2.2? Is it unique to me?

<h:form>
 <a:outputPanel id="bookingDetails">
 <s:div rendered="#{testBean.booking eq null}">
 <a:region>
 <s:decorate id="bookingNumDeco" template="/layout/edit_inline.xhtml" style="display:inline;" >
 <ui:define name="label">#{messages['enterBooking.bookingNum']}</ui:define>
 <h:inputText styleClass="inputField" id="bookingNum" value="#{testBean.bookingNum}" size="10"/>
 </s:decorate>

 <a:commandButton
 id="findBookingButton"
 styleClass="button"
 status="findBookingStatus"
 value="#{messages['enterShippingInstruction.findBooking']}"
 action="#{testBean.findBookingByNumber()}"
 reRender="bookingDetails">
 <s:defaultAction/>
 </a:commandButton>
 <ui:include src="/WEB-INF/include/AjaxStatus.xhtml"><ui:param name="statusId" value="findBookingStatus"/></ui:include>

 </a:region>
 </s:div>
 <s:fragment rendered="#{testBean.booking ne null}">
 <h:outputText value="Test successful. Booking is #{testBean.booking.bookingNum}"/>
 </s:fragment>
 </a:outputPanel>
</h:form>

Thanks,

Damian.

please check the a4j:log.. there should be errors on reRendering.

Thanks Ilya.

The log says nothing other than that there is no content to replace. Note that all I have done between the logs below is swapping out the richfaces jars and redeploying.

Here's the a4j:log under 3.2.2.SR1:

Hello Damian,
