RE: Help still needed with valueChangeListener

[stefan.maric]

Jeff   1) Shouldn’t this ctxt.getExternalContext().getSessionMap().put(“SHOWTHIS”, “partNumber”); be ctxt.getExternalContext().getSessionMap().put( “partNumber”, “SHOWTHIS”);   surely the component id is the key   2) You could use something like <h:inputText id="partNumber" value="#{nonConformingMaterial.partNumber}" required="true" immediate="true" onchange="submit()"valueChangeListener=”#{nonConformingMaterial. processValueChange” />   so you would move public void processValueChange(ValueChangeEvent vce) throws AbortProcessingException  { into your backing bean class and then your code would have direct access to the getter/setter methods   getPartNumber() & setPartNumber() so your code could   public void processValueChange(ValueChangeEvent vce) throws AbortProcessingException  { String partNo = ((String)vce.getNewValue()); System.out.println("A value has changed!" + partNo);   setPartNumber(partNo); FacesContext ctxt =  FacesContext.getCurrentInstance(); ctxt.renderResponse(); }   3) The doesn’t fire until the component loses focus   If this is NOT OK then you should consider using       Stefan Maric | IT & Professional Services | BT Global Services E: [EMAIL PROTECTED]  |  www.bt.com/globalservices   This electronic message contains information from British Telecommunications plc, which may be privileged or confidential.  The information is intended for use only by the individual(s) or entity named above.  If you are not the intended recipient, be aware that any disclosure, copying, distribution or use of the contents of this information is strictly prohibited.  If you have received this electronic message in error, please notify me by telephone or email (to the number or email address above) immediately.   Activity and use of the British Telecommunications plc e-mail system is monitored to secure its effective operation and for other lawful business purposes.

That part works, the bit I’m having trouble with is setting the new a value on page.   JSP… <h:inputText id="partNumber" value="#{nonConformingMaterial.partNumber}" required="true"        immediate="true"       onchange="submit()" >    <f:valueChangeListener type="org.me.jsf.actions.NonConformingMaterialAL"/> </h:inputText>     The code I have is…   CODE… public class NonConformingMaterialAL implements ValueChangeListener {   public void processValueChange(ValueChangeEvent vce) throws AbortProcessingException  {          String partNo = ((String)vce.getNewValue());        System.out.println("A value has changed!" + partNo);                     // This doesn’t save & show the new value.?!??!        FacesContext ctxt =  FacesContext.getCurrentInstance();        if (null != vce.getNewValue()) {            ctxt.getExternalContext().getSessionMap().put(“SHOWTHIS”, “partNumber”);                   }         ctxt.renderResponse();             } }   This doesn’t set the value “SHOWTHIS” in the field though.   Can someone please help?   Thanks Jeff.
