[jboss-user] [JBoss Seam] - Seam + Ajax4JSF

[pdhaigh]

Hi,

I'm using seam with a4j for dynamic validation etc etc. However, all of my a4j enabled parts of the form are actually written to the database on every change.

E.g. 


  | 			<h:form id="webpageForm">
  | 			    <f:facet name="afterInvalidField">
  | 			        <h:panelGroup><s:message/></h:panelGroup>
  | 			    </f:facet>
  | 			    <f:facet name="aroundInvalidField">
  | 			        <s:span styleClass="error"/>
  | 			    </f:facet>   		    
  |    		    	<s:validateAll>	   			
  | 					<h:panelGrid columns="2" columnClasses="object, value">
  | 
  | 					
  | 						<h:outputText value="Banner #1"/>
  | 						<h:panelGroup id="smallimage1">
  | 							<s:decorate>
  | 								<h:selectOneMenu value="#{webpage.banner_image_1}" required="true">
  | 									<a4j:support event="onchange" reRender="smallimage1" ajaxSingle="true"/>
  | 									<s:selectItems value="#{bannerImages.resultList}" 
  | 										var="image" noSelectionLabel="Please select"
  | 										label="#{image.filename}: #{image.altText}"/>
  | 									<s:convertEntity/>
  | 								</h:selectOneMenu>	
  | 							</s:decorate>								
  | 							<br/>
  | 							<h:graphicImage value="../images/#{webpage.banner_image_1.filename}" alt="#{webpage.banner_image_1.altText}"></h:graphicImage>
  | 						</h:panelGroup>	
  | 

Changing the drop down will result in the database entry being updated instantly. Can someone tell me why this is the case, and what I need to do (or have missed doing) to prevent it? I want the model to be updated, naturally, but the database should only be written to when I tell it to..

phil
