jsf page data not changing

I have a session scoped bean driving the data in a jsf page... Basically the bean has a bunch of arraylists that act as the filler for h:selectOneMenu

i am using output links and parameters to feed the page bean, the parameters tell the bean how to populate the arraylists

when i click link A it populates the page for product A.
when i click link B i see that the bean is building arraylists for product B yet the page is displaying Product A's data.

Its like the JSF is not even paying attention to the backing bean... I have no errors...

i know i am doing something wrong and there is probably an easy fix... Any ideas?

How do you send the request for "click link A"? If it's an AJAX request, then your problem may be as simple as needing a reRender attribute to say that you need the dropdown lists to redraw.

i am going to fix the values as soon as i get this page proplem fixed

ty fro the help btw... This site turned me on to JSF, which has changed my business...

not sure if this is the correct way to fix it but i basically put a call to a method that clears the form at the top of the jsf page and it works...
#{productLineModel.resetModel()}

i cant believe it was that simple....

I am just going to try and build some logic to not reset unless needed next..

Any advice on a more professional way to do this would be greatly appreciated....
