Gary, It seems like a good idea, but there are still some gotchas.
There's no guarantee that the CommandButton's ActionEvent will be broadcast after the ValueChangeEvent from the UIInput. The value bindings also won't be performed since those happen in the update model phase. So, it'll help somewhat so long as you only directly read the values from the component. That's a step up from reading the form request values. Probably the best that can be done in the current JSF model. -Mike On 8/4/05, Gary VanMatre <[EMAIL PROTECTED]> wrote: > > I don't have any answers yet, but I'm having the same issue. > > > > On 8/4/05, Eric Kelm <[EMAIL PROTECTED]> wrote: > > > Hi all, > > > > > > I am having a problem with a form in an application I am working on and > > > was > > > wondering if anyone else had the problem.
