FYI - the missing # from the actionListener in
<x:commandButton id="updateButton"
actionListener="{categoryAdmin.update}" value="Update"
rendered="#{categoryAdmin.updateMode}"/>
was corrected as I was typing in a hurry. The problem still persists.
Thanks for any help. And I am using MyFaces 1.0.9. Using the latest
nightly snapshot did not resolve this issue either.
