this is my JSP:


<h:selectOneMenu styleClass="selectOneMenu" id="menu1" value="#{deemListBean.tempState}" onchange="submit();" valueChangeListener="#{deemListBean.listenerStateName}" >

<f:selectItems value = "#{deemListBean.getState}" />
</h:selectOneMenu>

<h:selectOneMenu styleClass="selectOneMenu" id="menu2" value="#{deemListBean.tempCity}" >

<f:selectItems value = "#{deemListBean.getCity}" />
</h:selectOneMenu>

<hx:commandExButton type="submit" value="Submit"
styleClass="commandExButton" id="button1"></hx:commandExButton>


And my Backing Bean is:


public void listenerStateName(ValueChangeEvent vce){


System.out.println("inside listenerStateName");
String value = "";

value = (String)vce.getNewValue();

System.out.println("********* The new Value is = "+value);
FacesContext fc = FacesContext.getCurrentInstance();
fc.renderResponse();
deemListBO= this.serviceLocator.getConcreteDeemListService().getCity(value);
setCity(deemListBO.getCity());
System.out.println("********* The new Value is = "+city);



}

what is the scope of your managed bean?

Add

immediate="true"

to the selectOneMenu tag and it should work. This will "short circuit" the lifecyle and be handled right away instead of being queued and processed later when submitted.
