[jboss-user] [JBoss Seam] - best practices with Seam and presentation logic

So I have a use case where I need to reset the selected value of the h:selectOneMenu. I am using the following code to tracke the old and new values: <h:form id="peerForm"> | <h:selectOneMenu id="selectPeer" value="#{peerAction.employeeId}" valueChangeListener="#{peerAction.processValueChange}"> | <a4j:support event="onchange" | onchange="Richfaces.showModalPanel('mpChangePeer',{width:450, top:200})"/> | <f:selectItems value="#{peerAction.peers}" /> | </h:selectOneMenu> | </h:form> SFSB: private String selectedValue; | | private String oldValue; | | public void processValueChange(ValueChangeEvent value) { | selectedValue = (String)value.getNewValue(); | oldValue = (String)value.getOldValue(); | } I know from previous post that Pete had stated it's bad practice to handle presentation logic in a session bean (which I won't argue with although it does get confusing when SFSB's are essentially backing bean for JSF's). The two options are: 1) to use Seam remoting to access the old value from client side and reset selected value via javascript. 2) reconstruct the HtmlSelectOneMenu component in a POJO/SFSB. What is the recommended best practice according to Seam framework regarding this situation??? View the original post : http://www.jboss.com/index.html?module=bb&op=viewtopic&p=4115518#...
