rich:modalPanel problem

[lillith]

Hello,

I've got a problem when a rich:modalPanel invokes another rich:modalPanel. The latter has a textfield which sets a value on a property and on closing the second rich:modalPanel, the value should be displayed on the first rich:modalPanel. But this value is never set. This is the code for the second rich:modalPanel

<rich:modalPanel id="panelNewCommunication" width="350"
            height="150" resizeable="false" moveable="false">
            <f:facet name="header">
                <h:outputText value="Communication" />
            </f:facet>

            <h:panelGrid columns="2">

                <h:panelGrid>
                    <h:outputText value="*Value" />
                    <h:inputText id="valueOfNewComm" value="#{mBTest.newComm}"></h:inputText>
                    <h:outputText value="*Communication Kind" />
                    <rich:comboBox defaultLabel="Choice..." enableManualInput="false">
                        <f:selectItems value="#{mBTest.communicationKind}" />
                    </rich:comboBox>
                </h:panelGrid>
                <h:panelGrid>
                    <h:outputText value="*Communication Type" />
                    <rich:comboBox defaultLabel="Choice..." width="150">
                        <f:selectItems value="#{mBTest.communicationType}" />
                    </rich:comboBox>
                    <h:panelGroup>
                        <h:selectBooleanCheckbox value="#{mBTest.default}" />
                        <h:outputText value="By default />
                    </h:panelGroup>
                </h:panelGrid>
            </h:panelGrid>
            <h:panelGroup>
                <a4j:commandButton value="Add" id="addNewCommunication"
                    action="#{mBTest.addNewCommunication}" reRender="tableContacts">
                    <rich:componentControl for="panelNewCommunication"
                        attachTo="addNewCommunication" operation="hide" event="onclick" />
                    <a4j:keepAlive beanName="mBTest" />
                </a4j:commandButton>
                <h:commandButton value="Cancel" />
            </h:panelGroup>
        </rich:modalPanel>

Currently I am using rich 3.3.3

1) please read about form's and modal panels limitation in development reference. (to cut story short - by default form should be inside the modal instead of wrapping it)

2) I believe just oncomplete of button could be used instead of

                 <rich:componentControl for="panelNewCommunication"
                        attachTo="addNewCommunication" operation="hide" event="onclick" />

3) this

             <h:commandButton value="Cancel" />

would cause full page reload.
