Even if it gets called, after submit the state of the fist list will be overwritten with the state from the second list. And you will see the same state on the first list as in the second as they are using the same data in the backing bean. I cannot tell why the method is not getting called for the first list. -----Original Message----- From: Jan Bols [mailto:[EMAIL PROTECTED] Sent: Thursday, June 02, 2005 8:37 AM To: MyFaces Discussion Subject: Re: checkbox> looses state when inside data Table To put it simple: when I call the page I see the list of checkboxes twice (once nested in the dataTable, once not nested). When I click on a checkbox in the first list and I submit the page, the clicked checkbox isn't checked anymore in the postback. When I click on a checkbox in the second list and I submit the page, the clicked checkbox is still checked in the postback(as should be). Also when I add value binding to both lists, f.e. I add value="test.myList" to both selectManyCheckbox tags, the Test.setMyList method gets called for the second list, but not for the first one. I hope I made it a bit clearer.
