Thanks for the advice. My co-worker who is more familiar with Java than me (who doesn't know it at all) helped me figure out what I was doing wrong: I was specifying too much when passing the selectedItem info. I was trying to set the selectedItem.MA_ID, which changed the display, but didn't trip the data binding. When, in the course of working through several options, I retyped it with just the selectedItem, it worked like a charm!
Sometimes less really is more. Unfortunately, with the weather I don't think I'll make it to the meeting since I'm on a scooter in downtown. Hopefully next time!
