clear modalPanel form

[uwe72]

I simply want to clear the user inputs when i reopen a modal dialog. I am starting to think if richfaces is really the right technology!

i just have a dialog, which will be opened multiple times. On the dialog is a label, and the value can change. but there will be shown always just the initial value from the managed bean. if i change the binding value of that label, the dialog is not really interested in that. he shows always the first value which was set.

<ui:composition xmlns:ui="http://java.sun.com/jsf/facelets"
     xmlns:f="http://java.sun.com/jsf/core"
     xmlns:h="http://java.sun.com/jsf/html"

     <rich:modalPanel id="historyItemDetailModalPanel" width="700"
          height="180" autosized="true">
          <f:facet name="header">#{msg.historyEntryDetail}</f:facet>

          <a4j:outputPanel id="myOutPanel">

               <ui:decorate template="/layout/fields.xhtml">
                    <ui:decorate template="/layout/display.xhtml">
                         <ui:define name="label">
                              <h:outputLabel styleClass="Text" value="#{msg.actionplanTabSql}"></h:outputLabel>
                         </ui:define>

                         <ui:define name="input">
                              <h:outputLabel styleClass="Text"
                                   value="#{customerSelectionEditController.selectedHistoryContext}">
                              </h:outputLabel>
                         </ui:define>
                    </ui:decorate>
               </ui:decorate>

               <ui:decorate template="/layout/button.xhtml">
                    <ui:define name="button">
                         <a4j:commandButton value="#{msg.cancel}" title="#{msg.cancel}"
                              onclick="Richfaces.hideModalPanel('historyItemDetailModalPanel')"></a4j:commandButton>
                    </ui:define>
               </ui:decorate>

          </a4j:outputPanel>

     </rich:modalPanel>
</ui:composition>

BackingBean

..
 private String selectedHistoryContext = "1";
...
 public String getSelectedHistoryContext() {
        return selectedHistoryContext;
    }

    public void setSelectedHistoryContext(final String selectedHistoryContext) {
        this.selectedHistoryContext = selectedHistoryContext;
    }

So the label shows always "1", doesn't matter what is the real value in that binding variable.

So simply in any other programming language!
