setPropertyActionListener not populating target

[jhaley]

Once I get inside of my actionListener "editCube", I need to work with my workingPackingCratingArtl that was set with f:setPropertyActionListener. Problem is that workingPackingCratingArtl has not been set. workingPackingCratingArtl is request scope and I'm using t:saveState to preserver it. I'm I missing something obvious?

<t:saveState value="#{workingPackingCratingArtl}"></t:saveState>

<rich:dataTable id="selectedArticles" value="#{roomCtrl.selectedArticles}" rowKeyVar="rowNum"
 var="row" rendered="#{roomCtrl.showSelectedArticles}">
 <rich:column sortable="false">
 <rich:inplaceInput value="#{row.cubeNbr}">
 <a4j:support event="onclick"
 actionListener="#{roomCtrl.editCube}"
 oncomplete="Richfaces.showModalPanel('panelAddPackCrate')"
 reRender="panelAddPackCrate">
 <f:setPropertyActionListener target="#{workingPackingCratingArtl}" value="#{row}"/>
 </a4j:support>
 </rich:inplaceInput>
 </rich:column>
</rich:dataTable>

Same here and RF is not to be blamed. Check these:

I've solved my issue. f:setPropertyActionListner sets target with an equals assignment. My problem was once I left the page since row was thrown away, my targets reference to row were also thrown away. I resolved this by setting my target to be a variable in roomCtrl. After entering my actionListener, I was able to do a value copy from this new variable into workingPackingCratingArtl.

updated f:setPropertyActionListener

<f:setPropertyActionListener target="#{roomCtrl.clickedArticle}" value="#{row}"/>

Sorry, I thought you're yet another victim of the same eature.

a4j:keepAlive is also perfect for what you're trying to do.
