ADF 11.1.1.2 Partical Triggers not firing

Question

We are working with JDeveloper 11.1.1.2 using ADF BC with ADF Rich Faces and have found that the <af:commandMenuItem> and <af:commandToolbarButton> do not appear to be firing off the partialTriggers. Both have been replaced with <af:commandButton> and the partialTriggers fire off just fine. We have recreated the issue in 3 different applications with the same results. Checked IE 7/8 and FF 3.6.x and all have the same behavior. All code, bindings, etc. are created via the drag drop methods.
Development Environment:
<li>ADF Business Components     11.1.1.55.36
<li>Java(TM) Platform     1.6.0_14
<li>Oracle IDE     11.1.1.2.36.55.36
<li>Versioning Support     11.1.1.2.36.55.36
In the sample below, if you click on either the commandMenuItem or the commandToolbarButton the createInsert binding is fired of, but the table is not refreshed. However, if you then refresh the page the new row appears. (i.e. the binding worked).

Thanks in advance,

Answer 1

I guess you did it wrong. You have to put the partial trigger on the table (pointing to the id of the button) and not the other way around. In the partial trigger field in the IDE you name the id of an other component you like to listen to to update.
