s:link strange behaviour

[mickgiu.mickgiu.gmail.com]

Hi,
i have a page in which i have a h:selectOneMenu, a h:inputText and a a4j:commandButton.
Pressing button i open a rich:modalPanel in which i show a list of records.
Using s:link i get record selected, hide rich:modalPanel and populate h:inputText in main page.
All is ok.
When i have a value in h:selectOneMenu and return from s:link this value is deleted as
page is refreshed and i have to put this value again.
Can someone help me to prevent this.
Thanks in advance

Michele

Don't forget that s:link does NOT submit the form.

Hope this helps.

Thanks Stefano,
s:link does NOT submit the form i have an action in it as you can see.

<s:link
action="#{fascicolomanager.decodificaArticoloSelezionato}"
onclick="Richfaces.hideModalPanel('articoliSearch');">
<h:outputText value="#{riga.articoli.cdartm}" />
</s:link>

the problem is in h:selectOneMenu

<h:selectOneMenu styleClass="dropdown"
value="#{fascicolomanager.tipoevento}" id="tipoevento">
<s:selectItems value="#{fascicolomanager.tipoeventoList}"
var="referenti" label="#{referenti.destipoevento}"
noSelectionLabel="..." />
<s:convertEntity />
</h:selectOneMenu>

Because you're using s:link, and as a result not submitting the form, the value chosen in the selectOneMenu is not send, so your backend cannot know the selection if the form hasn't been submitted previously.
