Set method not being called in subview

[Frederic Filiatrault]

Hi,

I'm sure it is a very easy problem but can't find the solution. Any help would be appreciated.

I have a JSF file, using a subview that contains a inputText field:

<h:form id="testForm" styleClass="form">
...

<f:subview id="subPanel">
	<tiles:insert page="/WEB-INF/jsf/subPanel.jsp" flush="false" />
</f:subview>

...

</h:form>

inside the subview, there's an inputText field :

<h:inputText id="value" 
	styleClass="text"
	value="#{myController.value}" 
	maxlength="8" 
	size="8" />

My managed bean is :

public class MyController {

	private String value="test";

...

	public String getValue(){
		return this.value ;
	}
	public void setValue(String value) {
		this.value=value;
	}

}

My faces-config.xml file is :

	<managed-bean>
		<managed-bean-name>myController</managed-bean-name>
		<managed-bean-class>com.test.MyController</managed-bean-class>
		<managed-bean-scope>request</managed-bean-scope>
	</managed-bean>

I do see the "test" value appearing on my web page but if I set a breakpoint on "setValue" and change it, I never step into the method (and value is never change).

The ONLY way I found was to set the managed-bean to a scope of Session but I want to keep it as a request session. What the hell I'm missing here?!?

Request-scope objects are (re)created and destroyed each time you send a page request, even if it's still on the same page.

If you're using JSF2, View scope will allow you to keep the same object between requests, but for JSF1, you're stuck with session scope.

Please check whether you have set immediate=true for the component
