Hi there,

i have a problem with the h:selectOneMenu and the a4j:support...

My first selectOneMenu element controls the second. Only if a defined value has been selected in the first selectOneMenu element, the second will be enabled, otherwise it is disabled. So far so good...

If the second element is enabled and I select an item in this element, my method onGroupKindChanged will be called by a4j:support, but the submitted value is null.
If I remove the disabled property from this control, the submitted value is okay.

WHY?? What do I have to do, to get the right submitted value if I have the disabled property in the second element??

<h:selectOneMenu id="sex" value="#{userNewHandler.selectedSex}">
<f:selectItem itemValue="" itemLabel="#{msgT.pleaseSelect }" />
<f:selectItems id="sexs" value="#{selectableSexHandler.selectableSexItems }" />
<a4j:support event="onchange" reRender="groupStrength,groupKind,sexPanel,saveBtn"
actionListener="#{userNewHandler.onSexChanged }"
immediate="true"
ajaxSingle="true" limitToList="true" />
</h:selectOneMenu>

<h:selectOneMenu id="groupKind" rendered="#{userNewHandler.groupSelectionVisible }"
disabled="#{userNewHandler.groupSelectionDisabled }" disabledClass="disabledElements"
value="#{userNewHandler.groupKindSelection }">
<f:selectItem itemValue="" itemLabel="#{msgT.pleaseSelect }" />
<f:selectItems id="groupKinds" value="#{selectableSexHandler.selectableGroupKindItems }" />
<a4j:support event="onchange"
 reRender="groupKindPanel"
 actionListener="#{userNewHandler.onGroupKindChanged }"
 immediate="true"
 ajaxSingle="true" limitToList="true" />
</h:selectOneMenu>


public void onGroupKindChanged(ActionEvent ae, UserTO user) {

 FacesContext context = FacesContext.getCurrentInstance();
 HtmlSelectOneMenu select = (HtmlSelectOneMenu) ae.getComponent().getParent();
 String value = (String) select.getSubmittedValue();
...

With disabled property the value in the method is always null when an item is selected.

I'm using 3.3.1...

Greats
