I am updating a variable on the server-side via javascript on the client side via seam remote. However the get method is returning the value prior to the change rather than the updated value. How do I get the change to happen immediately so that updated value is returned by the get method? The following is the code:

xhtml page:

var mainTopicHeadingA = "Translation Services - Set in Javascript";

Seam.Component.getInstance("generalSettingsPage").setMainTopicHeadingA(mainTopicHeadingA);

Seam.Component.getInstance("generalSettingsPage").getMainTopicHeadingA(sayMainTopicHeadingACallback);

function sayMainTopicHeadingACallback(result) { alert("This is the result back from the java object: " + result); }

GeneralSettingsPageAction.java:

@Stateful

@Name("generalSettingsPage")

@Scope(CONVERSATION)

public class GeneralSettingsPageAction implements GeneralSettingsPage

...

private String mainTopicHeadingA = "Initial Default Setting";

public void setMainTopicHeadingA(String mainTopicHeadingA) {

     this.debugMessageSegment += "mainTopicHeadingA (received from page) = " + mainTopicHeadingA + "\n";

     this.debugMessageSegment += "this.mainTopicHeadingA = " + this.mainTopicHeadingA + "\n";

     sessionGeneral.getDebug().getAlertBox().open(this.debugMessageSegment);

     this.debugMessageSegment="";

     this.mainTopicHeadingA = mainTopicHeadingA;

     this.debugMessageSegment += "After assignment: this.mainTopicHeadingA = " + this.mainTopicHeadingA + "\n";

     sessionGeneral.getDebug().getAlertBox().open(this.debugMessageSegment);

     this.debugMessageSegment="";

}

public String getMainTopicHeadingA() { return this.mainTopicHeadingA; }

Results:

mainTopicHeadingA (received from page) = Translation Services - Set in Javascript

this.mainTopicHeadingA = Initial Default Setting

After assignment: this.mainTopicHeadingA = Translation Services - Set in Javascript;

This is the result back from the java object: Initial Default Setting

Why am I not getting the following?:  This is the result back from the java object: Translation Services - Set in Javascript

Thank you
