omg, I think I found the problem... For clarity, I omitted this section in the second form-entry: | <s:div rendered="#{empty companyManager.possibleSpaceCompanies}"> | #{messages['noMembersPresent']} | </s:div> | so the second entry actually is: | <tr> | <td> | <h:outputLabel for="newSpaceCompany">company</h:outputLabel> | </td> | <td> | <h:selectOneMenu id="newSpaceCompany" value="#{selectedSpaceInstance.entityData.company}" required="true"> | <s:selectItems value="#{companyManager.possibleSpaceCompanies}" var="company" label="#{company.name}" /> | <s:convertEntity /> | </h:selectOneMenu> | | <s:div rendered="#{empty companyManager.possibleSpaceCompanies}"> | #{messages['noMembersPresent']} | </s:div> | </td> | </tr> | Now, it seems, when I remove this, everything works as expected. How is it possible this is the cause of my problems? View the original post : http://www.jboss.com/index.html?module=bb&op=viewtopic&p=4052936#...
