ui:repeat, datatable and selectOneMenu

[tiamak]

hi,

i'm creating multiple dataTables in a JSF page, and have a list of <h:selectOneMenu/>s in each <rich:dataTable/>. on submit however, the converter is only called for the <h:selectOneMenu/>s in the last <rich:dataTable/>.

this is the relevant code in my jsf page:

<ui:repeat value="#{timetable.lectures}" var="lva">
  <rich:panel styleClass="outerGrid">
    <f:facet name="header">#{timetable.lectureInfo[timetable.lectures.indexOf(lva)].title}</f:facet>
      <rich:panel rendered="#{not empty timetable.practicals[timetable.lectures.indexOf(lva)]}">
        <f:facet name="header">&#220;bungen/Seminare</f:facet>
        <h:dataTable var="mscPr"
          value="#{timetable.practicals[timetable.lectures.indexOf(lva)]}"
          rowClasses="evenRow, oddRow">
          <h:column>#{mscPr.title} (#{mscPr.type})</h:column>
          <h:column>
            <h:selectOneMenu value="#{mscPr.selected}"
              converter="titConverter" styleClass="dataRowSelect">
              <s:selectItems value="#{mscPr.times}" var="n"
                label="#{n.toShortString()}"
                noSelectionLabel="No Selection..." />
            </h:selectOneMenu>
          </h:column>
        </h:dataTable>
      </rich:panel>
    <h:commandButton styleClass="button" value="Generate!"
      action="#{timetable.showPdf}" />
  </rich:panel>     
</ui:repeat>

the <rich:dataTable/> shows all the correct data, but the  converter is only called for the LAST <rich:dataTable/> on the page. if i recreate the page using distinct lists for all the <rich:dataTable/>s rather than an array of lists, the page works as it should. also, if there is only ONE <rich:dataTable/>, the page also works.

software versions: Seam 2.0.1GA, RichFaces 3.2.0, JBoss 4.2.0GA

any ideas? this has been stumping me for about a day now... :/

thanks in advance,
simon

RESOLVED.

using <a4j:repeat> instead of <ui:repeat> solved things for me.

I had the exact same problem and the solution worked for me as well... but I'd like to understand why.

Is this documented anywhere? I could easily waste a few days on such a problem!

Thanks.
