I have the following reRender tag on the button <a4j:commandButton action="#{speedDial.InsertNewRecord}" value="Save" reRender="dataEntry" /> In the stateful bean it actually modifies the value of the list but this form element inside <a4j:outputPanel id="dataEntry" > does not update the values to the new one. Here is the drop down code. <h:selectOneMenu id="selectedSDCode" value="#{speedDial.selectedSDCode}" > | <s:selectItems var="sd" value="#{speedDial.speedDialCodes}" /> | </h:selectOneMenu> Although if i refresh the page, the drop down gets updated with correct values. The list is called speedDialCodes. I would rather prefer to use Ajax and not have the page refresh. Is there any solution to my issue please? Thanks.
