Command button does not commit unless hit twice

Question

I'm using ADF/BC, 10.1.3.2 jdev. I have the following code in my backing bean:
    public String cardLost() {
        inputText12.setValue("1"); 
        BindingContainer bindings = getBindings();
        OperationBinding operationBinding =
            bindings.getOperationBinding("Commit");
        Object result = operationBinding.execute();
        if (!operationBinding.getErrors().isEmpty()) {
            return null;
        return null;
The command button is defined as follows:
<af:commandButton
                                text="Save" disabled="false"
                                binding="#{find_student_mb.commandButton4}"
                                id="commandButton4"
                                action="#{find_student_mb.cardLost}"
                                immediate="false"/>When I hit the Save button the first time, the input text field (inputText12) changes to 1, but the data does not get commited to the database. (I have verified this in the database) If I hit the Save button again, the data gets committed.
Is there a way to update the field and commit the data with one button?
Thanks,
Bob

Hi,
commit doesn't execute before a field is submitted. So what you do is you submit a page then update the field (which then is not yet reflected in the submit) an call commit, which basically executes on no new data. In the second call you now submit the data shown in the field that then also gets commited. To get it commited on the first button press, set the field value to the binding layer (attribute binding or iterator binding )
