I've got something wrong with form and outputPanel
I Have a form that has radio button in it for users to select and option, and when they do it reRender's an output panel that contains other fields for the form.
the problem is that when the user fills out the form and selects the Radio option and then sees the new fields, and fills them out, they aren't included in the post. i.e. the object is null in the EJB. Any ideas?
