Hi, I'm using seam with a4j for dynamic validation etc etc. However, all of my a4j enabled parts of the form are actually written to the database on every change. E.g. | <h:form id="webpageForm"> | <f:facet name="afterInvalidField"> | <h:panelGroup><s:message/></h:panelGroup> | </f:facet> | <f:facet name="aroundInvalidField"> | <s:span styleClass="error"/> | </f:facet> | <s:validateAll> | <h:panelGrid columns="2" columnClasses="object, value"> | | | <h:outputText value="Banner #1"/> | <h:panelGroup id="smallimage1"> | <s:decorate> | <h:selectOneMenu value="#{webpage.banner_image_1}" required="true"> | <a4j:support event="onchange" reRender="smallimage1" ajaxSingle="true"/> | <s:selectItems value="#{bannerImages.resultList}" | var="image" noSelectionLabel="Please select" | label="#{image.filename}: #{image.altText}"/> | <s:convertEntity/> | </h:selectOneMenu> | </s:decorate> | <br/> | <h:graphicImage value="../images/#{webpage.banner_image_1.filename}" alt="#{webpage.banner_image_1.altText}"></h:graphicImage> | </h:panelGroup> | Changing the drop down will result in the database entry being updated instantly. Can someone tell me why this is the case, and what I need to do (or have missed doing) to prevent it? I want the model to be updated, naturally, but the database should only be written to when I tell it to.. phil View the original post : http://www.jboss.com/index.html?module=bb&op=viewtopic&p=4073622#...
