ok, but for us mortals... eachDisplayableCategory does not get submitted when you click s:button refine... | <h:column rendered="#{eachDisplayableCategory.displayed}"> | <s:fragment rendered="#{!eachDisplayableCategory.refined}"> | <s:fragment rendered="#{eachDisplayableCategory.parenting}"> | <s:button value="#{messages.button_refine}" | action="#{advertisingCampaignController.refineCategory(eachDisplayableCategory)}" /> | </s:fragment> | </s:fragment> | <s:fragment rendered="#{eachDisplayableCategory.refined}"> | <h:commandButton value="#{messages.button_collapse}" | action="#{advertisingCampaignController.collapseCategory(eachDisplayableCategory)}" /> | </s:fragment> | </h:column> | you have to have a h:commandButton | <h:column rendered="#{eachDisplayableCategory.displayed}"> | <s:fragment rendered="#{!eachDisplayableCategory.refined}"> | <s:fragment rendered="#{eachDisplayableCategory.parenting}"> | <h:commandButton value="#{messages.button_refine}" | action="#{advertisingCampaignController.refineCategory(eachDisplayableCategory)}" /> | </s:fragment> | </s:fragment> | <s:fragment rendered="#{eachDisplayableCategory.refined}"> | <h:commandButton value="#{messages.button_collapse}" | action="#{advertisingCampaignController.collapseCategory(eachDisplayableCategory)}" /> | </s:fragment> | </h:column> | To me.. being a noobie, I don't really know when form is submiited or not.. s:button seems to avoid the validation... just a bit confusing...
