Cannot get the input value on backing bean!

[user080701]

I have a problem on getting the value from inputtext on backing bean.

The text field is not shown by default (the equation of rendered return false) , when I change the combo box value and call ajax to update the backing bean which make the input text shown after re-rendered.

When I change the qty and submit the form, the backing bean cannot get the new value of qty .

<h:panelGroup id=ppqty>
<h:inputText value="#{bean.qty}" id="qty"
label="#{msg.qty}" rendered="#{bean.id=='0'}"
maxlength="3" size="5">
<f:validateDoubleRange minimum="1" maximum="100"></f:validateDoubleRange>
</h:inputText>

............

<h:panelGroup id="qty2" rendered="#{bean.id!='0'}">
<h:outputText value="#{msg.product_qty} ："></h:outputText>
<h:outputText value="1"></h:outputText>
</h:panelGroup>
</h:panelGroup>

<h:selectOneMenu>
<a4j:support event="onchange" reRender="ppqty">
</h:selectOneMenu>
.............

<h:commandLink action="#{bean.add}">

.........

At backing bean, the new value of qty cannot get.

Added but no help.

The problem is:
At the first time, the page display with outputtext only. When I change the combo box to make the id !='0' at backing bean and re-render the panelgroup ppqty, at this time, the input field qty is shown and I input the new value on the qty and then click the submit, it can not get the new value at the backing bean!!!

When I removed the rendered attribute at the input field so that the filed is shown at all time, in this case, the submit function at backing bean can get the new value.

It seems that the rendered of the input field cause the backing bean cannot get the new value.

Is "bean" request-scoped? If yes, this won't work - search this forum for details. Use session, conversation (Seam) or keep-alived beans.
