a4j link not rendering as exected
Hi,
In my JSF RI 1.1 application, Iam using richfaces 3.0 version. I have the following scenario which is not executing properly.
I have a datatable, and one of the columns in the datatable is a a4j:commandLink, on clicking this link Iam reRendering a rich:panel which is part of the data table. The rich:panle is rendered based on a boolean flag in my beacking bean. The first time I log in to the page , the boolean criteria is true when I click the commandLink, the rich:panel is reRendered corectly. However Iam paging through the results in my datatable usinsg the commadLinks on the header of my table, when I click these links Iam delberately setting the boolean criteria to display the rich:panel to false, it works fine . Now once the boolean criteria is set to false, when I aagin click on my commanLink, even though I reset my boolean criteria to true and reRender the rich:panel it is not displaying the rich:panel.
Please find below in my jsp code, I have displayed in bold the a4j:commandLink and the corresponding rich:panel which it is trying to reRender.
I hope I was able to convey my probelm properly.
In short:
The a4j:commandLink reRenderes the rich:panel properly the first time I log in, but after that when I click any other links on my page (which reRenders something else on my page and sets the boolean flag to render rich:panel to false), however when I click the a4j:commanLink ,and in my backing bean am setting the boolean criteria to true, and reRender the rich:panel it is not reRendering, or I guess the boolean criteria is is stilll set to false for some reason.
Please let me know what is that Iam missing, thanks in advance for your help!!!
