Hi, asked this question again [1] with a little more details, and got it sort of working. Turned out that I had to invoke an action method for the selected value to get outjected properly, as suggested in the other post I just call an empty action mehtod. Not sure that I'm doing everything correctly, because I was hoping to use navigation strings defined in my page flow to handle navigation and not have to execute any serverside action methods. And the reason I didn't use a Factory annotation is that I need to populate the list based on a search string, and be able to repopulate that search result for a new search.
