ajax - Rendering updated components from backing bean after Save -

i have been working on creating dynamic table captures cells have been updated (for quicker save) , refresh/rerender cells after save.

so far, have table being created, of items updated being captured nicely via ajax listener, stuck on not being able refresh/rerender updated components after save.

code snippet page:

<h:form id="formmain" prependid="false">   <div id="contentwrapper">     <p:messages id="messages" severity="warn, error" autoupdate="true" closable="true" />     <div style="float:right; position:relative; top: -3px;">       <h:commandbutton id="btnsaveupdates" styleclass="save_updates_button">         <f:ajax execute="@this" listener="#{remediationdetail.processupdates}"/>       </h:commandbutton>      </div>    <h:panelgroup id="detailedit" styleclass="clear_left" layout="block">      <h:datatable id="tbldetails" styleclass="slate_table remediation"

code backing bean

@managedbean @sessionscoped public class remediationdetail implements serializable { public void markchangedentity(ajaxbehaviorevent ajaxevent){     entity entity = (entity) utility.getajaxactionattribute(ajaxevent, "entity");     //capture client ids updated     getcomponentsidstorefresh().add(ajaxevent.getcomponent().getparent().getclientid());     //capture entities changed         getchangedentities().add(entity); }   //this save happens , hoping updating of components !!  public void processupdates(ajaxbehaviorevent event){     entitydomain.processentities(changedentities);      facescontext.getcurrentinstance().getpartialviewcontext().getrenderids().addall(getcomponentsidstorefresh()); }  } 

after save occurs , add client ids updated partialviewcontext().getrenderids() don't see being updated. have tried omnifaces ajax.update(clientid) no success either.

i have updated code snippets stands full table being built.

my questions are:

1. is doing possible ?
2. am approaching rendering of components correctly ?
3. what missing ?

my environment: mojarra 2.1.7 tomcat 7.022

this code works fine me on mojarra 2.1.21. mojarra 2.1.7 march 2012 , little on 1 year old. recommend upgrade it.

i can't pinpoint version between 2.1.7 , 2.1.21 and/or mojarra issue fixes concrete problem 2.1.7 don't recognize problem, can tell lot of things have been improved in view state management lately. more, since 2.1.18, eternal chicken-egg problem taglibs+viewscope has been fixed, may releated.
