Matthias,
I'll try to.
This is what I suppose is happening in my faces,
regarding this problem.
1 - Restore View/Apply Request Value/Process Validations Phases
- The Backing Bean is constructed
- Old components are stored in the BackingBean with
their old values or new components are created and
the old values are stored in them
(really don't know exactly).
- The Component Tree is updated with the new values.
2 - ValueChangeListeners are called
- The getValue() of the components returns the old value
- UIComponents are not the same of those in the component tree
3 - UpdateModel Phase
- The UIComponents from the component tree are stored
in the BackingBean.
- This implies the the BackingBean getValue() methods
return the new values.
So when you call event.getSource() (in point (2)) the UIComponent
returned is the one in the component tree, but not the one
in the BackingBean. (this will not happen in ActionEvents that
are executed after the UpdateModel Phase)
In RI in point (2) the values and the components stored in
the BackingBean are those of the new request, that's why it
is working.
Hope it is clearer
if not just ask and I'll try again
Tonio
