[jboss-user] [JBoss Seam] - Problems using Ajax4jsf to Seam Hibernate3 sample app

[smartbinary]

Hello,

I've recently worked to get the latest versions of Ajax4jsf, Seam, Hibernate-core, and Hibernate-Annotations running the Seam Hibernate3 Booking sample...persisting to an Oracle 10gR2 DB.  Everything is running fine until I try to add some Ajax4jsf functionality in.  I've noticed others posting Ajax4jsf w/Seam related questions here...so here's another :-)

Here's an example of what I'm running into: I'm working with the main.xhtml file and have replaced the standard jsf command buttons with the a4j:command buttons -- with a reRender to an a4j:outputPanel.

The system processes command button requests fine, but I always get a full-page redraw (instead of the desired redraw of the targeted a4j:outputPanel).  If I add a , it reports that the system is always doing an extra redirect after the post -- potentially leading to the full page redraw?

Here is the updated Seam booking main.xhtml page:
