Hi Andrew, yes, the control is reRendered and part of the reRendered attribute of the cancel-button. If I place a t:outputText with the identical valueBinding before the t:inputText then the right value is displayed as normal text. But the inputText contains the old submitted value, which is still set from the previous request. I debugged this many times and verified that the old submitted value is still set and that the corresponding getter is called.
The input component is not in the submitted region because it should not be validated. I think this is exactly the problem, that the old submitted value is not cleared. But even removing the region from the button and setting ajaxSingle=true is no alternative. In this case the wrong date is set again as submitted value (is the user does not clear it manually) My actionListener is called but the old view is rerendered containing all submitted values. Furthermore I can't create a new viewRoot in the called ActionListener because ajax would not work in this case and the whole page would be rerendered instead of just the defined outputpanels. What about Simon's idea in the previous answer, that submitted value should be transient ?

Perhaps you just aren't re-rendering that component? Also, is that component in the region? If not, then that component will not be validated and updated, and thus will not have the submitted value and local values cleared. -Andrew On 6/28/07, Michael Heinen <[EMAIL PROTECTED]> wrote: > > > > > Hi, > > > > I have a serious conversion/validation problem and don't see any solution. > > > > My form contains an inputField for dates and a dateTime converter. > > If an invalid format is entered then the submitted value is not erased and > the page is rerendered with the entered date. > > This is working fine so far. > > > > Now I execute a kind of cancel button via ajax. > > I use an a4j:commandButton with ajaxSingle=true and surrounded this button > by an a4j:region in order to process no input fields on serverside. > > The value that is bound via valueBinding to the inputField is set to null in > the invoked ActionListener. > > The problem is now that the old invalid date is rerendered on the page. > > > > This happens because the submitted value of the inputField is not null but > still contains the old invalid date. > > Therefore the valueBinding is not evaluated in the getter. > > > > I can't set the submitted value to null in the converter because invalid > values should be rerendered in case that a normal processing button (not > cancel button) is clicked. > > > > Any help is highly appreciated. > > Michael
