richfaces and seam(appling only partial values not all)

[deanhiller2000]

When I tab out of a field, it not only checks the validity of that field but calls every set/get method for all the other fields as well...is there anyway to prevent that? 

right now, it is calling getOccupation which is calling occupation.getPositions() which results in a select statement so as I tab through my 10 fields to fill out, it does 9 selects that are all not needed(the first one was needed of course).

Don't put your queries in your getters. In fact try not to do anything in your getters.

Instead have methods that you call via the action of the <a4j:support>. This is much more efficient.

eg.

<h:inputText value="#{bean.occupation}">
   <a4j:support event="onchange" action="#{bean.getPositions()}" reRender="somePanel" ajaxSingle="true"/>
</h:inputText>

Cheers,
