InputText never updates backing bean

[maipucino]

Hi,

I am having some issues with 3.0.M2-SNAPSHOT and this form. The problem is that backing bean is never updated, so when I change some value on screen and press the commandButton to save that changes, selectedAccount (backin bean) never gets updated and new values never reach the database.

I was playing with commandButton's process attribute but it is not clear to me what is happening.

Any advice?. I searched the forum but couldn't find useful answers.

Thanks in advance!

A quick suggestion at first:

1) Install the Firefox plugin named "Firebug"
2) Initiate firebug and load your application, set firebug on "Console" mode and click on "persist"
3) Perform you action , then look on the transaction at the firebug console and see what data comes out of "post". See if your data is in there
4) Then, observe the "response" in XML form and see if there is a "validationFailed = true" somewhere in the end of the response. If so, you'd better add a <p:messages /> tag in your page so you will receive such validation messages for your awareness.

Hi,
thanks for the advice.

Using Firebug help me solve my issue. I had several validations problems.
