    s:selectItems doesn't rerender.

    fredrikl74

      Hello!
      I'm developing a part of an application used for administration of bosses.
      I've added possibility to add and remove bosses from DB.
      The problem is when I try to remove a boss, the selectOneMenu and s:selectItems
      doesn't rerender, the removed boss still appears in the drop-down box.
      It rerenders only when I do a explicit refresh (ctrl f5).
      Here is my code:


      createBoss.xhtml

          Hi


          If you don't mind skipping the @DataModel you can try to reference bosses via #{bossController.bosses} in the XHMTL page.


          You can initialize the list of bosses in a @Create annotated method.


          I've had issues a long time ago with outjected lists not staying in sync with the list in the backing/controller bean. So I've stopped using outjection and haven't had any issues.


          Ha det gott,
