Hi
I have a HtmlSimpleTogglePanel which I'm building programmatically and then binding into a facelets .xhtml page. The panel contains a number of form elements. What I am trying to enable is that when there is a validation failure that the panel is rendered open on the post back, even if it was closed when the form was originally submitted.

The first step I took towards this was to try specify the value of the "opened" attribute on the panel as a variable which can then be updated during the validation phase, e.g.

ValueBinding valueBinding = getApplication().createValueBinding(
 "#{panelsOpen['panel1']}");
 panel1.setValueBinding("opened", valueBinding);

I've created a panelsOpen map and added one key/value pair ("panel1", Boolean.FALSE) and put it in Session scope.

As a debugging step I added a HtmlOuputText component to the page as well which displays the value of "#{panelsOpen['panel1']}".

Now when I initially go to the page I can see that the value of "#{panelsOpen['panel1']}" is false, but the panel itself still renders as open?

Any ideas why the "opened" variable appears to be being ignored?
