Re: [jsr-314-open] f:ajax not working inside composite components?

<h:selectOneMenu id="menu" value="#{place.zoomIndex}" valueChangeListener="#{place.zoomChanged}" style="font-size:13px;font-family:Palatino"> <f:selectItems value="#{places.zoomLevelItems}"/> *<f:ajax execute="@this" render="image"/> * </h:selectOneMenu>

With FireBug, I've verified that a POST request is indeed executed when I change the zoom level, and it appears that everything is in order: form form j_id-939329235_16ef8569:0:j_id-939329235_16ef8513:j_id1608935764_5fe6690f:menu 3 javax.faces.ViewState -1363564553004911965:-1863826268811277742 javax.faces.behavior.event valueChange javax.faces.partial.ajax true javax.faces.partial.event change javax.faces.partial.execute j_id-939329235_16ef8569:0:j_id-939329235_16ef8513:j_id1608935764_5fe6690f:menu javax.faces.partial.render j_id-939329235_16ef8569:0:j_id-939329235_16ef8513:j_id1608935764_5fe6690f:image javax.faces.source j_id-939329235_16ef8569:0:j_id-939329235_16ef8513:j_id1608935764_5fe6690f:menu

I get a response back that looks like this: <?xml version="1.0" encoding="utf-8"?> <partial-response><changes><update id="javax.faces.ViewState"><![CDATA[1747337848471748955:2683565346534242854 ]]></update></changes></partial-response> However, with f:ajax, my value change listener is never invoked on the server, so the menu doesn't update, even though I've specified that the menu should go through the execute phase of the lifecycle. Does anyone know why my value change listener is not invoked? Am I doing something wrong, or is this a bug?

btw, here are a couple of interesting datapoints: 1. I have breakpoints in jsf.ajax.request and jsf.ajax.response. The request breakpoint is hit, but the response is not. The return status for the response is 200, so there are apparently no errors. 2. I thought, from Jim Driscoll's blog about f:ajax, that we had to specify client ids for execute and render, so I originally had this: <f:ajax execute="@this" render="#{cc.clientId}:image"/> But when I do that, I get this error... <f:ajax> contains an unknown id 'j_id-939329235_16ef8569:0:j_id-939329235_16ef8513:j_id1608935764_5fe6690f:image' ...when I load the page, even though that is the correct client id (as evidenced from the request data above). Evidently, we're supposed to use the component id and not the client id?
