Is it a foolish question or a real bug?

Question

i want make the renderd property of input components (such as h:inputText) to be dynamic by binding it with a boolean variable of backingbean ,but i find that all input components can not save the sates when they are not rendered at the first time.
for example
the following is my jsp source code:
<f:view>
<h:form>
<h:SelectBooleanCheckbox id="checkbox1" value="#{myBean.renderedText}" /><br>
<h:commandButton id="button1" value="submit" /><br>
<h:inputText id="input1" value="#{myBean.text}" rendered="#{myBean.renderedText}" /> <br>
<h:commandButton id="button2" value="submitText" action="#{myBean.doSubmitText}"http://forum.java.sun.com/help.jspa?sec=formatting
Formatting tips
rendered="#{myBean.renderedText}" /><br>
</h:form>
<f:view>
the following is myBean source code:
public class MyBean
private boolean renderedText=false;
private String text="input me ";
public String getText()
return this.text;
public void setText(_text)
this.text=_text;
public boolean getRenderedText()
return this.renderedText;
public void setRenderedText(boolean _renderedText)
this.renderedText=_renderedText;
public doSubmitText()
System.out.println(this.renderedText);
when the page was rendered first time ,we can not see the input1 and button2 of course .
then we clicked checkbox1 to make it checked then clicked button1,we can see the input1 and button2 now,
but we modified the data of input1 then clicked button2, the text attribute of myBean was not changed,and
the doSubmitText method was not invoked.

I don't understand your question.
You will have a separate opt file for the packages, not the applets. You can also have the same applet multiple times, but using different instance AID values all in the same opt.
