Refreshing a Listing on an Edit Screen
Using Richfaces 3.2.2, Seam 2.1.1, JBoss 4.2.3 and MySQL. The Listing, detail and edit screens are like those described in the seam in action
.
I have an edit screen called InFilesEdit.xhtml which I use to validate and post an imported file. In This case, it is a collection of city-state-zip records. The importing, validation and posting is working fine. The problem I am having is once I validate or post the records, the listing of city-state-zip records does not get refreshed.
I have tried using an event/observer and afterTransactionSuccess, but it does not seem to refresh the tab.

The reason I have an InCityStateZipTable.xhtml is to eliminitate duplication of listings.
Does anyone have any idea how to refresh the tab listing?
