Hi Ram,

What is the scope of chartDataBacking bean? Please check this: http://community.jboss.org/wiki/CommonAjaxRequestsProblems#conditionalRendering

Hi Nick,

Thanks for the link.Its really given me the clear picture of whats happening.But the thing is my bean is session scoped.Still categoryFlag value not available between multiple requests

@ManagedBean(name="chartDataBacking")

@SessionScoped

public class ChartData {

public String categoryFlag;

Check imports declaration - maybe you've used CDI annotation?

yes i imported the wrong sessionScope.Thanks Nick
