How to make content of af:popup dynamic? Component Value is not updating.

Question

HI,
     I am not able to update the component used in af:popup dynamically.
     In my case, the value of the component used in the popup is updated every time before opening the popup.
     I am building the af:popup. I am using component binding for my components. And I am setting data in the component using the component in the Managed bean only. The getter method for every component that I bind gets called only once i.e. while loading of the page. So when ever I change any thing in the component in managed bean, it is not reflecting in JSPX page. Coz it not calling the getter method of the component, so it is not getting the updated status for the component. But if you refresh the page you will get the updated component.
     Following is the sample code to simulate my problem,
     JSPX Page:-
<af:commandButton text="RCF Dialog (Without Script)" id="button1"
windowHeight="600" windowWidth="600">
<af:showPopupBehavior popupId="samplePopup" alignId="button1"
align="afterEnd"/>
</af:commandButton>
<af:popup id="samplePopup" clientComponent="false"
contentDelivery="lazyUncached">
<af:dialog title="Sample Dialog Test" modal="true"
cancelVisible="true" okVisible="true">
<af:inputText label="Label 1" value="#{searchField.myValue}"/>
<af:inputText label="Label 2" binding="#{searchField.textField}" />
</af:dialog>
</af:popup>
Managed Bean:-
public static int count = 1;
private String myValue = null;
private CoreInputText textField = new CoreInputText();
public String getMyValue(){
String value = "MESSAGE_" + count;
System.out.println("Count ==>" count " Value ==>"+value);
count++;
return value;
public CoreInputText getTextField() {
//Get called only once at the page load.
textField.setValue(getMyValue()+"_XXX");
return textField;
public void setTextField(CoreInputText textField) {
//Get called every time dialog is opened.
this.textField = textField;
Please let me know what to do make the content of the af:popup dynamic.
Any suggestions are welcome.

HI,
I have simulate my problem using one text field component in side the popup. It is the same way that i am using. In my case there is more code in the constructor of the dialog bean.
Following is the code,
<?xml version='1.0' encoding='windows-1252'?>
<jsp:root xmlns:jsp="http://java.sun.com/JSP/Page" version="2.0"
xmlns:h="http://java.sun.com/jsf/html" xmlns:f="http://java.sun.com/jsf/core"
xmlns:af="http://xmlns.oracle.com/adf/faces/rich">
<jsp:directive.page contentType="text/html;charset=windows-1252"/>
<f:view>
<af:document title="Popup Demo">
<af:form>
<af:spacer width="10"/>
<af:commandButton text="RCF Dialog (With Script)" id="button"
actionListener="#{mainScreen.processAcion}"/>
<f:verbatim>
<![CDATA[
<script>
function launchSampleDialog() {
var popup = AdfPage.PAGE.findComponent("samplePopup");
var hints = {};
hints[AdfRichPopup.HINT_ALIGN] = AdfRichPopup.ALIGN_OVERLAP;
hints[AdfRichPopup.HINT_ALIGN_ID] = "button";
popup.show(hints);
</script> ]]>
</f:verbatim>
<af:popup id="samplePopup" clientComponent="false" contentDelivery="lazyUncached" >
<af:dialog title="Sample Dialog Test" modal="true" id="dialogId" cancelVisible="true" okVisible="true">
<af:inputText label="Label 1" />
<af:inputText binding="#{dialogBean.textField}" />
</af:dialog>
</af:popup>
</af:form>
</af:document>
</f:view>
</jsp:root>
//Main Screen Bean set in session scope.
public class MainScreenBean {
     private static int count = 1;
     public void processAcion(ActionEvent event){
String updatedData = "ABCDEFG__" + count;
System.out.println("Inside process Action of Main Bean. Data set in Scope ==>" +updatedData );
FacesContext facesContext = FacesContext.getCurrentInstance();
facesContext.getExternalContext().getSessionMap().remove("dialogBean");
AdfFacesContext afContext = AdfFacesContext.getCurrentInstance();
afContext.getProcessScope().put("updateData", updatedData);
          count++;
ExtendedRenderKitService service = Service.getRenderKitService(facesContext, ExtendedRenderKitService.class);
service.addScript(facesContext, "launchSampleDialog();");
//Popup Dialog Bean set in session scope.
public class DialogBean {
private RichInputText textField = null;
public DialogBean() {
textField = new RichInputText();
textField.setLabel("Custom TextField");
AdfFacesContext afContext = AdfFacesContext.getCurrentInstance();
textField.setValue(afContext.getProcessScope().get("updateData"));
System.out.println("Data From Scope in Dailog Bean = " + afContext.getProcessScope().get("updateData"));
RequestContext.getCurrentInstance().addPartialTarget(textField);
public RichInputText getTextField() {
System.out.println("Inside getter for the component in Dailog Bean. Value = " + textField.getValue());
return textField;
public void setTextField(RichInputText textField) {       
AdfFacesContext afContext = AdfFacesContext.getCurrentInstance();
//Uncomment following line and run again. It will start showing updated value. But this will get called many times.
//textField.setValue(afContext.getProcessScope().get("updateData"));
System.out.println("Inside setter for the component in Dailog Bean. Value = " + textField.getValue());
this.textField = textField;
}
