I have this really weird problem I can't explain. I'm hoping someone can
give me some insight. The problem is that my backing bean isn't being
updated properly during the update model phase, *unless* I include a
hidden input. With the source listed below it works fine, but if I
remove the h:inputHidden I get a call to getDescription() instead of
setDescription().
The action for the h:commandButton fires, but because the model hasn't
been updated it has no effect. Here's the code:
<h:commandButton value="#{msgs['label.Save']}"
action="#{backing.save}"/>
<h:inputText id="description"
value="#{backing.project.description}"
rendered="#{backing.renderMode eq 'edit'}"/>
<h:inputHidden id="mode" value="edit"
rendered="#{backing.renderMode eq 'edit'}"/>
<h:outputText
value="#{backing.project.description}"
rendered="#{not empty backing.project
and backing.renderMode eq 'view'}"/>
As I say, as long as I have that hidden input everything's fine. I have
an h:messages in my view and it's not showing any conversion or
validation errors, with or without the hidden input.
I don't understand :-( Any help would be appreciated!
