Bean setter not getting called on a4j:form submit
Hello,
I'm having an issue when i submit a form with the a4j:commandButton. The page is set up as follows. The top section has a richDataTable that displays a list of things. each row has a a4j:commandLink that will load and then rerender the bottom section of the page. this part works fine
the bottom section has an inputText field and a button to submit it . The problem is that when i submit the bottom section using an a4j:commandButton, the set method is never called for that field so in the action method, i see that the field never gets the new value. but if i change the button to just a regular h:commandButton, it works, but the whole page gets refreshed.
at the very top of this page, i created a small a4j: form with some input fields and submitted with the a4j:commandButton, and that did work
any help would be appreciated.
code below:
