Boolean values in backing bean are (unexpectedly) initialized after ajax call
Hi All,
I am new to this forum and hope that this is the right place for my question/issue. I am posting this her,e because I am not shure if it is an issue or not.
Situation:
I am migrating my rich faces 4.3.6 application from glassfish to tomcat Apache Tomcat/7.0.53. I have an interesting
issue with the a4j:ajax feature and the h:selectOneMenu.
Problem:
If an ajax event is processed the jsf/rich faces seems to initialize every boolean attribute of my backing
beans with an initial value = false. Only if excecute and render are @form. Has anybody experienced something like that before?
The user never clicked one the component and the value should still be null.
I used Boolean and not the primitive type boolean in my backing bean.
My example facelet looks like this:
-----------------------------------------------------------------

<h:body>
<h:form id="avaro">
<h:selectOneRadio id="firstSelect"
value="#{myTestBean.firstBooleanValue}">
<f:converter converterId="javax.faces.Boolean"/>
<f:selectItem itemLabel="True" itemValue="true" />
<f:selectItem itemLabel="False" itemValue="false" />
<a4j:ajax event="click"
render="@form"
execute = "@form"
/>
</h:selectOneRadio>
<h:selectOneRadio id="secondSelect"
value="#{myTestBean.secondBooleanValue}">
<f:converter converterId="javax.faces.Boolean"/>
<f:selectItem itemLabel="True" itemValue="true" />
<f:selectItem itemLabel="False" itemValue="false" />
</h:selectOneRadio>
</h:form>
</h:body>
</html>
My Backing bean looks like this:
--------------------------------------------------------
package de.dvka.avaro.frontend.jsf.beans;
import java.io.Serializable;
import javax.enterprise.context.SessionScoped;
import javax.inject.Named;
@Named ("myTestBean")
@SessionScoped
public class MyTestBean implements Serializable{
private static final long serialVersionUID = 3475839275576533364L;
Boolean firstBooleanValue;
Boolean secondBooleanValue;
public Boolean getFirstBooleanValue() {
return firstBooleanValue;
}
public void setFirstBooleanValue(Boolean firstBooleanValue) {
this.firstBooleanValue = firstBooleanValue;
}
public Boolean getSecondBooleanValue() {
return secondBooleanValue;
}
public void setSecondBooleanValue(Boolean secondBooleanValue) {
this.secondBooleanValue = secondBooleanValue;
}
}
