Hi
I am seeing a weird
problem:
I have a page that has a toplevel panelGrid
with 2 columns.
In the left column, I have a
panelGroup containing a bunch of textfields for
text entry and
then a commandButton with an associated
action
In the right column, I have a
dataTable and a bunch of inputTexts below the dataTable.
The action for the commandButton in the
left panel is called "backer.search" and
invokes the search method in the backer
bean. I'm logging a message in that
search() method, plus this method does a
search and sets up the entries to be displayed
in the dataTable in the right
column.
Now, the inputTexts in the right column
have values that go like "backer.selection.firstName"
and so on ... where backer.getSelection()
returns a Customer object that has a getFirstName()
method.
The weird behaviour is that: if the above
inputTexts have values like above : i.e.,
"backer.selection.firstName"
etc. the commandButton doesn't seem to fire
the search() method - the log message doesn't get
printed and the dataTable is not filled up.
However, if the inputTexts have values like
"backer.firstName" (where
backer.getFirstName() is a method that returns a simple string),
the
commandButton does fire the search()
method.
I'm at a loss - as these two seem
completely independent.
Sorry for the long and rambling mail, but
any clues?
