f:selectItems can't set value

Hi all,

I got an issue, jsf code is:
<h:selectOneMenu id="selOrg" value="#{Bean1.selOrg}" >
<f:selectItem itemLabel="Select..." itemValue=""/>
<f:selectItems value="#{Bean2.allOrgSelectItems}" />
<a4j:support event="onchange" reRender="Org_usergroup_list" limitToList="true"></a4j:support>
</h:selectOneMenu>

Bean1 code segment:
private String selOrg;

public String getSelOrg() {
return selOrg;
}

public void setSelOrg(String selOrg) {
this.selOrg = selOrg;
}

The page looks good, but when I change the selectItems, the setSelOrg method didn't run, so getSelOrg will return null, who can help me? thanks a lot.

write below code in jsp page

<%@ page language="java" pageEncoding="UTF-8"%>

write below code in bean class

import java.util.ArrayList;
import java.util.Iterator;
import java.util.List;

import javax.faces.model.SelectItem;

public class DynamicListBean {

private ArrayList dynList = new ArrayList();
private SelectItem[]items;
private List dList = new ArrayList();
private String selectedCategory;

public DynamicListBean()
{
items=populateSelectOneMenu();
}

public SelectItem[] getItems() {
return items;
}

public void setItems(SelectItem[] items) {
this.items = items;
}

public String getSelectedCategory() {
return selectedCategory;
}

public void setSelectedCategory(String selectedCategory) {
this.selectedCategory = selectedCategory;
}

public List getDList() {
return dList;
}

public void setDList(List list) {
dList = list;
}

public ArrayList getDynList() {
return dynList;
}

public void setDynList(ArrayList dynList) {
this.dynList = dynList;
}

public SelectItem[] populateSelectOneMenu() {
String a = "B";
List selectItems = new ArrayList();
for (int i = 1; i < 5; i++) {
dList.add(a + i);

}
Iterator it = dList.listIterator();
while (it.hasNext()) {
String label = (String) it.next();

selectItems.add(new SelectItem(label));
}
return (SelectItem[]) selectItems.toArray(new SelectItem[0]);
}

}

Bean2.allOrgSelectItems is:
public List getAllOrgSelectItems(){
try {
List selectItems= new ArrayList();
Port port = getPortService();
List<Organization> orgList = port.getOrganizations();
for(Organization org: orgList){
selectItems.add(new SelectItem(org.getId(), org.getName()));
}
return selectItems;
} catch (Exception ex) {
ex.printStackTrace();
return null;
}
}

It can generate dropdown list well.

My problem is why the setSelOrg() method doesn't run, when change selection?

Fixed by another solution.

In page, add valueChangeListener to h:selectOneMenu component, then add a method in backing bean, like this:
public void changeOrg(ValueChangeEvent event) {
selOrg = event.getNewValue().toString();
}
