When the page below is submitted the values in the a4j:repeat lost -- it doesn't render the submittedValues as the field at the top of the form does.

 <h:form id="savetest">
 <h:inputText id="first" value="#{requestScope.blah}"/>
 <a4j:repeat id="testList" value="#{objectManager.test}" var="test">
 <h:inputText id="xxx" value="#{test.name}"/>
 </a4j:repeat>
 <h:commandButton id="b" action="null" immediate="true"/>
 </h:form>

If I was using tomahawk's t:dataTable I know I could do the following:

<t:dataTable preserveRowStates="true" id="testListDataTable" value="#{objectManager.test}" var="test">
 <h:column>
 <h:inputText id="xxx" value="#{test.name}"/>
 </h:column>
 </t:dataTable>

Note the preserveRowStates="true" on the t:dataTable above.

I have tried componentState="#{objectManager.teststate}" on the a4j:repeat but that doesn't seem to do what I want.

How do i get the components within a a4j:repeat, a4j:dataList, or a4j:dataTable to render with their submittedValue when a commandButton with immediate=true is clicked?

I am using JSF 1.2 and RichFaces 3.2.2.SR1.

Thanks,
David

PS. I have spent ALL DAY (litterally) on this so please some help if you have any ideas... THANKS!
