this code is rendered according to the values from bean.and appears one bu one like a wizard. page is eaisly navigating but the problem is that i cannt transfer the data. in the case when when value is 2 first panel is rendered and when i click on next button next panel is rendered but how would i share the data that i have entered in first screen on next one.

[nbelaevski]

Data is saved into the model when you click a4j:commandButton (e.g. expression #{mainBind.customWizard.clusterName} is updated). You can take it from the model then.

[ipraveenjain]

hi
pls explain how can i get data from model?
as you wrote "You can take it from the model then."
if u are talking about beans then i am not able to get data from bean.

[nbelaevski]

Right, from the bean. Why aren't you able to get data: bean is not updated with new data or something else?

[ipraveenjain]

this is what the probelem is bean is not invoking or updating?
normally setter metthod should be called to update the bean
but setter method is not getting focus.
and i dont know ?

[nbelaevski]

Please remove <a4j:region> and check.

[ipraveenjain]

i tried it ,but of no use.

[nbelaevski]

How about preparing small demo application demonstrating the issue? You can put it to sendspace or somewhere else...
