rich:modalPanel doesn't display/update data from backing bean.
Problem: rich:modalPanel doesn't display/update data from backing bean
Possible Solution: This one has taken me weeks to solve. But finally, with the help of Max Katz, author of Practical Rich Faces, I was able to tackle it. There are many reasons why you might be having these problems. Your best bet is to go take a look at a tutorial that Max wrote on using a rich:modalPanel to allow editing of data in an underlying page. Max' solution even allows you to reRender just the row that was edited. I extended the code to allow adding a new entity as well.

Brilliant article for me! I am rather new to the JSF technology and always wondered, how to make the "gui near" application design. After reading this I was able to design what I wanted and it works fine. I must have a look Wicket (can I use this for portlet development?), but - in my opinion - JSF is a clear progress in Java based Web-Development. But it would be great, if the tool / IDE support for JSF implementations would be better.

Can I rerender a jsf ui component when a valuechangelistener method is run? The reason i'm asking is that my valuechangelistener method changes the values of the input boxes in the backing bean but they don't seem to be rerender. What happens eventually is that the values that are printed on screen are saved to the backing bean, overriding the values loaded through the valuechangelistener method.
