Michael,
I have the same functionality in my application. (Or rather I used to,
before I started using subForms ;) I used the following:
<h:commandLink action="#{search.doSearch}" immediate="true">
<h:graphicImage.../>
</h:commandLink>
<h:selectOneMenu value="#{search.searchOption}"
onchange="submit()" immediate="true"
valueChangeListener="#{search.updateSearchOption}">
<f:selectItems.../>
</h:selectOneMenu>
And in updateSearchOption() I have this:
public void updateSearchOption(ValueChangeEvent event) {
String newOption = (String)event.getNewValue();
this.setSearchOption(newOption);
...
FacesContext context = FacesContext.getCurrentInstance();
context.renderResponse();
}

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
