Just to add some information: My backing bean is session scoped. I have a value binding of inputText-component to my datastructure and I also have a component binding (get/setUIComponent). Again, it seams to me that my backing bean's state is saved. After that I update my bean in the invoke application phase and this has no effect... Any idea?
