I read some more pages, as well the one in the MyFaces
wiki(http://wiki.apache.org/myfaces/FAQ#MissingInAction) and finally understood
why there is no way around t:saveState.
So, stays the problem why dataList doesn't get updated. My action is called fine, which
in turn updates the data to be fetched by the dataList. How can I force the dataList to
"refetch" the data instead keep the old one saved in the state?
I tried [1] but it didn't work. Google as well didn't show me up something.

Backing data lists for UIComponents must persist to the next request.
You can persist just the list instead of the entire bean. That's
generally how I do it.
There's also a preserveTableModel attribute for t:dataTable that does
something similar, but I don't use it -- I'd rather have the control
that t:saveState gives me.

I stumbled over an interesting hint from Jeff Bischoff in the maillist:
Re: Refresh JSF Page
That's a pretty broad topic! If you could be more specific, you might
get more hints...
See [1] for a neat trick to force updated model values in input components.

I fear, that I'm forced to save the state (t:saveState) of CategoryBean just to
force an update of it programmatically in the action method
CategoryBean:select(). But it can't be that way. I'm sure I passed something
and there is a neat, straight forward solution.
Beside the clear descriptions of Mike why my problem persists, does anyone have
an idea how to solve that puzzle?

Is #{subscriptionCategoryBean.subscriptions} request-scoped? If so,
try using t:saveState to persist it across a page, or change it to
session-scoped, or use some other persisting mechanism.

Hi,
I don't like the prosa form and so:
* Tomcat 5.5.17
* MyFaces 1.1.3
* Tomahawk 1.1.3
* Page with two dataList; subscriptionCategories and subscriptions
* Links of subscriptionCategories work fine
* Links of subscriptions don't work at all; action doesn't get called
* Using dataTable for subscriptions doesn't work either
* Put each list in a separate form doesn't work either
* "Test" link (between the two lists) works as expected; action gets called,
navigation to other page
* Static values in "Test" link and subscriptions only for testing purposes
Any ideas? Thanks
Patrick
