a4j:jsFunction rerender doesn't work

[true_mykola]

     Hi!  I have a problem of making dynamic context menu so I need to load pages with needed modal panels dynamically which i was hoping to achieve with a4j:include as ui:include can't be rerendered. But i've faced a strange problem with a4j:jsFunction: it doesn't want to rerender elements if the page with this function is included with a4j:include (with ui:include everything works fine). Why does it happen and how to fix it?

     Here's how i include pages:

<a4j:include id="invoicesSubview" viewId="#{MbContextMenu.panelViewId}">
    <ui:param name="viewId" value="invoicesSubview"/>
    <ui:param name="viewIdColon" value="invoicesSubview:"/>
    <ui:param name="fromCtx" value="true"/>
</a4j:include>

     And here's a part of page with panel:

<h:form id="rptInitForm">
    <a4j:jsFunction action="#{MbReportsContext.initializeModalPanel}" 
            name="initializeReportPanel#{viewId}" reRender="#{viewIdColon}reportRunForm">
    </a4j:jsFunction>
</h:form>

<rich:modalPanel id="reportRunPanel"  autosized="true" minWidth="300" minHeight="50"
    onbeforeshow="if (#{empty fromCtx ? false : true}) initializeReportPanel#{viewId}()">
     <f:facet name="header">
         <h:outputText value="#{lblRpt.run_report}"/>
     </f:facet>            
     <h:form id="reportRunForm">

So, the function ("initializeReportPanel#{viewId}") itself is called, bean's method ("#{MbReportsContext.initializeModalPanel}") is called too, but the form isn't rerendered although its id is formed correctly. All the same code when called from the same page but included with ui:include (inside f:subview) works fine. Is it some a4j:include issue or may be i do something wrong?

I'm using JSF 1.2 and Richfaces 3.3.3

do not rerender forms. You should add an a4j:outputPanel or a h:panelGroup to the the form and reRender this one instead:

<h:form id="#{viewId}Form">

<a4j:outputPanel id="refreshMe">

<script>

console.log("i was rerendered!");

</script>

    <a4j:jsFunction action="#{MbReportsContext.initializeModalPanel}"
            name="initializeReportPanel#{viewId}" reRender="#{viewIdColon}#{viewId}Form:refreshMe">
    </a4j:jsFunction>

...

the script tag should give a hint, if the part of the page is actually rerendered.

Nope, it didn't help.

sorry, my fault. I've got mixed up with your forms ;-) I thought, the jsFunction would reRender its surrounding form but it reRenders the modal panels form instead!

Then try:

</f:facet>           
     <h:form id="reportRunForm">

            <a4j:outputPanel id="refreshMe">...

and reRender the panel:

reRender="#{viewIdColon}reportRunForm:refreshMe"

well, of course i didn't just copy-paste i put correct id into reRender parameter and it didn't work
