My checkbox will not stay checked

[Davie Lin]

Hi guys, I have a checkbox like

  <h:selectBooleanCheckbox  id="#{someId}" value="true" /> 

The above code is enclosed in richface modal panel. However, only when I open the window the first time, the check box is pre-checked and on subsequent window opening, the checkbox is no longer checked. I have try to replace "true" with "#(variableFromBean}" and set that variableFromBean everytime someone click a button to open that modal panel. That just simply don't even check the box at all. I am using JSF 1.1, very frustrated with the stupid crap this framework keep throwing me. Please, if you know something that can help me solve this issue, greatly appreciated.

Blanking out of values usually comes from defining a property's scope too narrowly. Generally that means giving "request" scope, since request scope objects get destroyed and re-created between postbacks.

Interesting that the hard-coded constant "true" would blank out, but not impossible. You're supposed to use a read/write property when using input controls.
