Well, I need to disappoint you - it will surely not work in request scope, if you not use something like the x:saveState tag, e.g. (this being the reason why it has been invented initially).
The reason for your text field not loosing the entered text is that the entered text is posted back to the server, it is in the request-map - whereas the updateMode boolean value is not (except you put it in the x:saveState tag.) With request-scope, you really get a new managed bean on each request, it is virgin-like ;) constructed anew on each request, all of its initialization data must be provided by the request map or the backing database. regards, Martin On 8/12/05, Gregg D Bolinger <[EMAIL PROTECTED]> wrote: > Technically, the problem isn't solved yet.
