I expect that you're getting a validation failure, but that you do not have
an h:messages tag in your page, so do not see it.

Try adding an h:messages tag to your page.

And in future, please send these sorts of questions to the user list, not
the dev list.

Regards, Simon

It really looks to me like the components are rendering their cached 
"submittedValue" rather than fetching data from the actual backing bean. 
This deliberately happens after a conversion or validation failure, so 
that invalid user input is redisplayed rather than thrown away. Of 
course "readonly" components do not have a cached "submittedValue", so 
the data from the backing bean is always displayed.

But if your h:messages component is definitely not showing any messages, 
then I guess this is not the cause.

I cannot think of any other cause though. I have certainly not seen 
anything like this.

Simon

Thanks for your feedback Simon. I have added the messages tag and it doesn't
display any errors.
I also turned on some debug facilities that i'm aware of that shows the
parameters passed in and there was no difference apart from the names and
binding variables which were all expected.

Just to add to my previous post... On another panelTab that i have, there is
a t:commandLink that i use to retrieve some more data from the backend. Once
the results are returned, i do see that the fields previously not rendered
are now rendering as i wanted!

I also checked my other panelTabs and it looks like my form is only
displaying values that have readonly="true"

Does this look like a rendering issue?

thanks again
