Heres
what I find when I use a4j:repeat;
Without the <a4j:region>tags shown in bold and strikethrough, the backing bean action (UIRepeat) repeater.getRowIndex() succeeds. But with the <a4j:region> tags included, the backing bean action repeater.getRowIndex() returns -1 until the page is refreshed.
Anyone have any thoughts. BTW...replacing <a4j:repeat> with <t:datalist layout="simple">- and changing nothing else - works flawlessly. BTW #2 - I have the region b/c I want to display the <a4j:status ...> for each repeated element, not the entire page.
