RE: selected value and immediate submits

[Michael Heinen]

Thanks Jeff.

Was your valueChangeListener called although you used an immediate
commandLink ?

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();
}
