CheckBox issues

Question

Hello,
I've got a checkbox that is bound to a boolean in the SessionBean:
selected="#{SessionBean1.mySelectedBean1.myBeanChild1.checkBeforeProcessing}"
the selectedValue property is defaulting to "true" and I can't figure out how to unset that (or if I need to)...
This checkbox is on Tab1 in a three tab TabSet.
When I come into the page, and select the appropriate myBeanChild1 object from a list to set that boolean property, it shows selected/deselected appropriately based on the state of the external data that's driving this (it's not a database bound component though, it's just bound to the session bean data).
However, when I switch to Tab2 and then go back to Tab1 the checkbox is not checked appropriately and it appears as though the session data for this particular property is somehow lost too (other pieces of data associated to this object are all correct)? Once it gets into this state, I can't seem to get the check box to stay checked without restarting the app.
I'm using checkboxes on other pages where TabSets are not involved and they appear to be working as expected and are being configured similarly. So, I think I understand how check boxes need to be configured with JSC2.
This is an app that I'm trying to convert from the Q4 version to the release 2 version and this worked fine with Q4. I've tried using the old style/standard checkbox and it seems to be having the same type of issues.
Please tell me I'm missing something.
Thanks,
TJ

Still no luck. The work around doesn't seem to work for me. Once I switch tabs, it loses the information somehow. Even though in the prerender, it says the SessionBean1.selected property is true when I switch the tabs.
Basically it looks like this:
- come into the page, prerender says the session variable is true. The checkbox is visually "checked."
- switch tabs, prerender still says it's true
- go back to the tab where the checkbox is and the processValueChange method fires saying that the checkbox is not checked any more (checkbox1.isChecked() == false). The checkbox is visually "unchecked."
- then the prerender method fires and it says that the session variable is now false
This is all happening simply by switching tabs. I'm not doing anything with the checkbox at all (like clicking on it or anything).
Am I missing something?
Any ETA on the fix yet? i.e. - are we looking at days, weeks or months before we can use this properly? If it's something that's not going to be fixed in the near future, I need to start trying to come up with other alternatives.
Thanks for any additional information.
