h:inputText not updated when a value returns from a ModalPanel

[aj81]

Has anyone ever encounter this before? I input a invalid code in the h:inputText and submit the form. My validation reject the input. I uses the modalPanel to search for a valid code and the modalPanel reutrns a value to the h:inputText but it displays the old value in the h:inputText.

hi

After your validation what kind of text do u want to display in the h:inputText???What value is returning from the modelpanel???could brief about that scenario.

Let say the user input '153458', which is a invalid code, after the validation, it will return to the same page. The user will use the modalPanel to search for a valid code and select '11011011', The modalPanel will return '11011011' to the h:inputText but the h:inputTextbox display '153458' instead. Although it display '153458', the value of the h:inputText in my backingbean is '11011011'.

Try to reRender the id

h:inputText id="somevalue" i think it will update the value in the screen when you rerender the id of the input Text box,because in your bean it is correct means this is the only idea to update the inputText box.try this.

Thanks! This is what I'm looking for. But I cant find the page source and bean source. It's a broken link. Any idea where I can find the source?

No need to find the page source and all.

example  while defining the h:inputTextBox you define the id attribute also.

like,

<h:inputText id="someName" value="#{...}" />

here while closing the model panel you can define like this reRender="someName".or you can reRender the id 

of text box in list or what ever you are trying to disply correct values in model panel.

Example,

<a4j:commandLink value="Close.. " action="#{.....}" reRender="someName"></a4j:commandLink>

 <a4j:commandButton action="#{...}" value="Back.." reRender="someName"/>
