Question

I have pop-up with h:selectOneMenu. This pop-up will be displayed on a4j:commandLink click.

h:selectOneMenu has “value” attribute is not getting called on pop-up render (I debugged it using System.out.println()).

Because of this value is not being updated on pop-up display, I am seeing last operation value, even though I want to see empty list on new operation.

Any suggestions?

Note: Another observation is, if “add” some button in pop-up which refreshes the h:selectOneMenu, then it is working fine.

My code looks something like this:

<rich:popupPanel id="CModalPanel"
                 autosized="true"
                 resizeable="false"
                 moveable="true" domElementAttachment="parent">
    <f:facet name="header">
        <h:outputText value="Select list"/>
    </f:facet>

    <h:form id="cListID">
       <a4j:outputPanel id="panelID">
    <h:panelGroup>
           <h:selectOneMenu id="cListMenu"
                       value="#{myBean.currvalue}" >                        
                <f:selectItems value="#{myBean.plistItems}" />
            </h:selectOneMenu>
    </h:panelGroup>
    <h:panelGroup>
             <a4j:commandLink id="refreshButton" 
                         actionListener="#{anotherBean.addMethod}"
                         render=":cListID" >

             </a4j:commandLink>
     </h:panelGroup>
</a4j:outputPanel>
</h:form>
</rich:popupPanel>

You need to update the content of <rich:popupPanel> before opening it.

<a4j:commandLink ... render=":cListID" oncomplete="#{rich:component('CModalPanel')}.show()" />
