I find there is a component named s:autoUpdateDataTable. Do you mean this component? But I don't know how to use this component. This component has a frequency attribute, it will refresh the table iteratively, this is not necessary. How can I make it refresh the table when the user click the button?
Thank you!

Hi
I am seeing a weird problem:
I have a page that has a toplevel panelGrid with 2 columns.
In the left column, I have a panelGroup containing a bunch of textfields for text entry and
then a commandButton with an associated action
In the right column, I have a dataTable and a bunch of inputTexts below the dataTable.
The action for the commandButton in the left panel is called "backer.search" and
invokes the search method in the backer bean. I'm logging a message in that
search() method, plus this method does a search and sets up the entries to be displayed
in the dataTable in the right column.
Now, the inputTexts in the right column have values that go like "backer.selection.firstName "
and so on ... where backer.getSelection() returns a Customer object that has a getFirstName()
method.
The weird behaviour is that: if the above inputTexts have values like above : i.e., "backer.selection.firstName "
etc. the commandButton doesn't seem to fire the search() method - the log message doesn't get
printed and the dataTable is not filled up. However, if the inputTexts have values like
"backer.firstName" (where backer.getFirstName() is a method that returns a simple string), the
commandButton does fire the search() method.
I'm at a loss - as these two seem completely independent.
Sorry for the long and rambling mail, but any clues?
