Hi,

when i understood you right, you have 3 comboboxes. When you pick a value in the forst box it has an effect on the other two, that the list entries of combobox 2 and 3 are changed (more/less or even different entries).

I would suggest to ajaxify that. So when you pick a combobox value an ajax listener is notified, which does some data handling and prepares data for the comboboxes. With this request you would do also an re-render of the other two comboboxes and you get your data displayed.

Tell me, whether this soulution would be a correct approach to your requirement.

Best regards,

Mark

Lets say I get 2 combo boxes with datas and a search button ( type submit)  . Country combo box and city.

Each one has datas corresponding example : France as country and Marseille as a city. If  you click on search it will filter information regards France and Marseille. But on the other hand, if the user does not specify the city choice ( lets say city : empty ) the search button will filter only for the country ( France ). Grosso Modo, All france cities  without no cities specifications.

Best regards and Thanks a lot again

Hi at first I wanted to clarify Mark's suggestion  - it will be good to enhance your dependent selets as shown at http://richfaces-showcase.appspot.com/richfaces/component-sample.jsf?demo=ajax&sample=selectsUpdates&skin=blueSky

And about your question. I'm not really sure where the problem appears. You have three combos. Let's say their value's pointed to bean.value1, bean.value2 and bean.value3.  So in your button action you should just check which one of values aren't empty and that will be the fields which user have chosen. Then you could trigger your business logic methods accordingly.
