Once I swapped to ui:repeat, all the problems went away.
I saw the thing about not using forEach in the docs after I sent this. Still, thought it was odd that it grabs the collection on each run. Thanks, -Kevin On 10/3/06, Jeff Bischoff <[EMAIL PROTECTED]> wrote:
Kevin, There are lots of issues in JSF 1.1 with collection tags like c:forEach. To avoid running into these, I use forEach sparingly in my app. When I do use it, I also use c:out rather than h:outputText. See [1] for some info.
