I would go with a binding, don't know if there are other ways to do
what you need.

Hi,
I asked this question a few months ago but I didn't get an answer. So I try
it again because I have to solve this now.
I have a selectOneMenu and a link beside it. When the user clicks the link I
need the selected value in my BackingBean without form validation. The
target of the link is an iframe and I don't want that the same page with
error messages is rendered in this iframe. Therefore the immediate attribute
of the link is set true.
I can't use a ValueChangeListener because this is not called with immediate
submits, right?
Can I use an updateActionListener and set the selected value via javascript
(see snippet and the '???')
Or is the usage of a component binding for the selectOneMenu the only
working alternative?
Snippet:
<t:selectOneMenu id="documentTypeId" forceId="true"
value="#{MyBean.document.attributes['documentTypeId']}">
<f:selectItems value="#{MyBean.scoredCategories['documentType']}"/>
</t:selectOneMenu>
<h:commandLink action="#{MyBean.switchHighlighting}" immediate="true"
target="zone1">
<t:updateActionListener property="#{MyBean.selectedDocumentTypeId }"
value="????"/>
...
</h:commandLink>
Thanks in advance,
Michael
