a4j:mediaOutput causing backing bean to be instantiated again.

[hotngui]

I am trying to use a4j:mediaOutput inside a rich:modalPanel, but doing so causes my backing bean to be re-instantiated.

I do have a4j:keepAlive set for that backing bean so it should not be re-instantiated. If I remove the a4j:mediaOutput element from my JSP I do not see the problem - even though there are other calls to my backing bean in the modalPanel. I have tried several combination of settings for the cachable and session attributes of the a4j:mediaOutput with no joy.

Any ideas? Am I looking at a bug or expected behavior?

Hi Joey,

a4j:keepAlive should not be used with a4j:mediaOutput. All information necessary for media resource creation should be placed into bean bound as "value" attribute of a4j:mediaOutput.

Yeah, I was originally trying to integrate the bean used with the a4j:mediaOutput with the bean I was already using for my page. I figured it out late last night that it was a bad idea.

Thanks,

joey
