Ajax behavior/ Conditional rendering

[Bishal Ghimire]

Hi all,

I have got an weird problem in the jsf page. I have used ajax:support for h:selectOneMenu to render portion of the page. Based on the logic, it hides and displays different textboxes (available inside ajax:outputPanel, which wraps two or more h:panelGroup where the condition lies). Each textboxes has their own rich:message too, which I haven't put inside outputPanel as I thought those appear based on the input value of associated textboxes.

Now, the problem I am getting is, when I select one item from the ComboBox, ajax resposes well as it hides according to the logic. But, once I enter some text in the newly appeared field, and tab off, they original test boxes reappear and the new ones get lost.

Here is the code also:

<h:selectOneMenu id="someType" value="#{bean.someMethod}" valueChangeListener="#{...}" required="true" requiredMessage="#{msg.error_some}">
			<f:selectItems value="#{......}"/>
		        <a4j:support ajaxSingle="true" event="onchange" reRender="effect1,effect2,effect3"/> 
		        <rich:ajaxValidator event="onblur"/>
	         </h:selectOneMenu>

                  <a4j:outputPanel ajaxRendered="true" id="effect1">  
			<h:panelGroup  rendered="#{bean.someMethod !='something'}">			
			<h:panelGrid columns="3" styleClass="label">				
				<h:outputText value="#{.......}"></h:outputText>
				<h:outputText value="#{.....}"></h:outputText>
				<h:inputText id="Fname" value="#{bean.fName}" required="true"
				          requiredMessage="#{error.fname}">
				         <rich:ajaxValidator event="onblur"/>
			 	</h:inputText>		
			</h:panelGrid>
			</h:panelGroup>
			<h:panelGroup rendered="#{bean.someMethod =='something'}">
				<h:panelGrid styleClass="label">
				<h:outputText value="#{msg.companyName }"></h:outputText>
				<h:inputText id="cName" value="#{bean.cName}"
								required="true" requiredMessage="#{error.cName}" >
					<rich:ajaxValidator event="onblur"/>
				</h:inputText>
				</h:panelGrid>
			</h:panelGroup>
			</a4j:outputPanel>

Also, when I submit this form, even if bean.someMethod is 'somthing', only the top h:paneGroup gets appeared.

Thank you!
