What's the scope of your SFSB? It's likely you are having issues with scope of the components. Are the java variables null (for the variables annotated @SelectItems) on the second page refresh? In general, if you want something to always reload when you refresh a page I would suggest outjecting an event scoped component from an an event scoped bean (i.e. use a SLSB). If you the values don't change often you could always cache them. View the original post : http://www.jboss.com/index.html?module=bb&op=viewtopic&p=3981802#...
