yip.ng added a comment - 22/Sep/08 5:23 PM There is actually nothing wrong with the renderer. The problem, I think, is due to the values being changed in the listeners. When there are validation errors, the life cycle goes directly to render response, and the listeners are skipped. Therefore, you need to change these values in the validator instead. See the attached modified files for component-showcase\common-web\WEB-INF\includes\examples\standard\buttonsAndLinks.jspx and component-showcase\common-src\org\icefaces\application\showcase\view\bean\examples\component\buttonsAndLinks\ButtonsAndLinksBean.java. (Do a diff. to see the changes.) See screenshot-1 to screenshot-3 for the test results. (The title, visible attributes are dynamically changed through value binding; the styleClass attribute is dynamically changed through component binding.)
