Hi all, I've hit a wall. I know the a4j and rich tags pretty well (I use Seam 2.2.0 and Richfaces 3.3.1). However, I'm trying to do something quite simple, but in a rich:modalPanel.

It seems that rich:modalPanels do not allow Ajax events to be fired. Here's a simple breakdown: I have a h:selectOneMenu with some items in it and whose value is attached to a backing bean. Attached to that h:selectOneMenu is a a4j:support tag so that whenever the change event is fired, the backing bean should get updated. Truly simple stuff eh?

However, when this h:selectOneMenu is in a rich:modalPanel the onchange event doesn't update the backing bean until the rich:modalPanel closes.

I can confirm this because I'm running it in Eclipse debug mode and I have a breakpoint on the setter of the property that's hooked up to the h:selectOneMenu. This is driving me mad! This is vanilla stuff for Ajax, but rich:modalPanels don't seem to allow it.

So, the question is: can I do Ajax stuff within a rich:modalPanel? I'm basically trying to use the rich:modalPanel as a form (I've tried a4j:form and h:form to no avail) that reacts to changes to the drop down (e.g. when the user changes the drop down, a certain part of the form should get reRendered). Am I trying to do something that's not possible?

Here's a simplified version of the modalPanel:

<rich:modalPanel id="quickAddPanel">
    <div>
        <a4j:form id="quickAddPaymentForm" ajaxSubmit="true">
                <s:decorate id="paymentTypeDecorator">
                    <a4j:region>
                        <h:selectOneMenu
                            id="paymentType"
                            required="true"
                            value="#{backingBean.paymentType}"
                            tabindex="1">
                            <s:selectItems 
                                label="#{type.description}"
                                noSelectionLabel="Please select..."
                                value="#{incomingPaymentTypes}"
                                var="type"/>
                            <s:convertEnum/>
                            <a4j:support 
                                ajaxSingle="true" 
                                event="onchange"
                                eventsQueue="paymentQueue"
                                immediate="true"
                                limitToList="true"
                                reRender="paymentTypeDecorator, paymentDetailsOutputPanel, quickAddPaymentForm"/>
                        </h:selectOneMenu>
                    </a4j:region>
                </s:decorate>
            </fieldset>

            <fieldset class="standard-form">
                <div class="form-title">Payment details</div>
                <a4j:outputPanel id="paymentDetailsOutputPanel">
                    <h:outputText value="This should change whenever dropdown changes: #{backingBean.paymentType}"/>
                </a4j:outputPanel>
            </fieldset>
        </a4j:form>
    </div>
</rich:modalPanel>
