Yeah, good point. In your latter email you correctly point out that you could just navigate back to the same view without executing any actions, and thus re-initializing the bean (assuming its request scoped) and re-creating the view. However, if the bean's not request scoped you might need to do *something* to get it to reset. I wonder if you could somehow take care of the fact that null component values are not validated, i.e. mark the view or some aggregate component as not rendered or something similar. Don't have this problem right now, so not thinking any further than that, but might give somebody some ideas to think about. Kalle
