Refreshing rich:comboBox value after record was added or deleted

[lenyas66]

I noticed that rich:comboBox doesn't refresh the value after it was removed from its list.

For example, I have a record that I want to delete from the DB.

It is selected in combo box and I click on the button to delete it. After processing is done combo box list is updated and no longer shows the record, but it still shows as value on the screen. it looks kind of weird.

Same thing happen sometimes when I have a record, which I want to save under different name. I change the name and click on Save button. Record is saved correctly in DB and shows in the list, but old one still appears as value.

Anybody has an idea what might be wrong? I attached the XHTML code below and backing bean as the file.

Combo box in question has id "template" and functions are Delete and Save.

<

div id="templateDiv" class="div-border">

<a4j:region>

<h:panelGrid id="templateParams" columns="6" style="padding-top:10px;">

<h:outputText value="Templates:" style="font-weight:bold" />

<rich:comboBox id="template" width="300" value="#{qtBeanParam.templateName}"

immediate="true" enableManualInput="true"

converter="#{templateConverter}" >

<a4j:support event="onselect" reRender="template,templateList" ajaxSingle="true" />

<a4j:support event="onchange" reRender="template,templateList" ajaxSingle="true" />

<f:selectItems id="templateList" value="#{qtBeanParam.templateList}" />

</rich:comboBox>

<h:outputText value="Owners:" style="font-weight:bold" />

<rich:comboBox id="templateOwner" width="160" value="#{qtBeanParam.templateOwner}"

immediate="true" enableManualInput="false"

valueChangeListener="#{qtBeanParam.changeTemplateOwner}" >

<a4j:support event="onselect" reRender="template, templateList" ajaxSingle="true" />

<f:selectItems id="templateOwnerList" value="#{qtBeanParam.templateOwnersList}" />

</rich:comboBox>

</h:panelGrid>

<h:panelGrid columns="1">

<rich:message for="templateParams" errorClass="rich-message-error" infoClass="rich-message-info" />

</h:panelGrid>

</a4j:region>

<h:panelGrid id="templateButtons" columns="3" style="padding-bottom:10px;">

<a4j:commandButton id="saveTemplate" value="Save"

action="#{qtBeanParam.saveTemplate}" immediate="false" reRender="template,templateList,templateOwner,templateOwnerList"

styleClass="blue-button">

</a4j:commandButton>

<a4j:commandButton id="deleteTemplate" value="Delete"

action="#{qtBeanParam.deleteTemplate}" immediate="true" reRender="template,templateList,templateOwner,templateOwnerList"

styleClass="blue-button">

</a4j:commandButton>

<a4j:commandButton id="loadTemplate" value="Load"

action="#{qtBeanParam.loadTemplate}" immediate="true"

styleClass="blue-button">

</a4j:commandButton>

</h:panelGrid>

</div>

Set a4j:keepAlive to keep managed bean's values updated and use rerender attribute to update the needed fields.

This bean has scope of session not request, so I doubt using keepAlive would make a difference.

All components are re-rendered already. Take a look on the code in the original question.

Ok, this might be a stupid one, but I'll ask anyways:

Do you recreate the SelectItem list you use in the comboBox after the DB alteration?
