autosubmit with selectOneChoice

[Martin Hinterndorfer]

Hi everybody!

I have a quite simple question:

Imagine this requirement:
A drop-down-box to select different time-periods (last month, last year,...)
Two date-input fields.
1. "From"
2. "To"

If the user selects a certain period, the from/to fields should be updated
accordingly.

Here is how I tried to realise this with trinidad:

                <tr:statusIndicator />
                <tr:selectOneChoice id="periods" label="Period"
                    autosubmit="true"
                    value="#{myBean.selectedPeriod}">
                    <f:selectItems value="#{myBean.availablePeriods}" />
                </tr:selectOneChoice>

                 <tr:inputText id="from"
                    value="#{myBean.from}"
                    partialTriggers="periods">
                    <f:convertDateTime />
                </tr:inputText>

                <tr:inputText id="to"
                    value="#{myBean.to}"
                    partialTriggers="zeitraum">
                    <f:convertDateTime />
                </tr:inputText>

I probably have to put some logic into the setters. Anyway..

The problem is, that the selection of any value in the rendered
drop-down-box does not cause a ppr-submit. (As far as I can see from
debugging the setters/getters and statusIndicator.
Do I understand something wrong with the usage of partialTriggers and
autosubmit or is this "simply" a bug?


In hope for some enlightenment!
Sincerely
