Wow. Well then, since this.tableName=arguments.tableName will simply never work as intended (as in the update1 method) I will stick to session.temp.tableName=arguments.tableName (as in the update2 method). Have to admit I find it shocking that a THIS scoped variable cannot be updated within the enclosing component by using a simple assignment statement...
