Matthias, I highly recommend you read through the UIInput javadocs at this location:
http://java.sun.com/j2ee/javaserverfaces/1.1_01/docs/api/javax/faces/component/UIInput.html#processUpdates(javax.faces.context.FacesContext) The majority of the questions you've been asking are answered authoratively there, so you'll find your answers faster, better organized, and they're guaranteed to be right :) >From what I remember, yes, the local value is set to null and the component is marked to have no valid local value during a successfull backing bean update. Another good place to back up what's in the javadoc is the source code of the UIInput component itself. Studying UIInput is one of the best uses of time when it comes to understanding decoding/validation/updating in depth, since it all happens right there.
