Problems with ADF auto submit.

Question

Hi,
I am new to ADF application development and I face an issue while working with the auto submit attribute.Please help me if I am doing anything wrong. The scenario is as follows....
I have a adf table where columns values needs to be entered by the user thorough LOV, inputtext box and checkboxes. For the sake off validation to occur while typing manually in the lov fields we have included auto submit in LOV field. We have set auto submit to true to other fields also to set the values as in while we change it since it was refreshing the values to it previous state/empty when the LOV field get loaded.
Now the problem is that when I change value in a text field and without shifting the focus (the auto submit is not triggered yet), I click the check box (now auto submit is triggered for the input text box) to deselect/select. What happens is that the checkbox gets refreshed back to it previous state (since the change event for the input box is in progress when I clicked the checkbox).
What I do have in my code when I debug is the getter setter methods in the viewRowImpl class for that table view object is called 5-6 times before it renders the page. I tried to figure it out by understanding the phases in the life cycle but I couldnt get it right......
I like to add that i didnt implement any value change listener thinking it will increase complexity. Correct me if I am wrong.....
So pls help me with these .
1. how to make the checkbox persist even if I change it before the change event autoSubmit process is in progress for other fields.
2. Why is the getter methods called 5-6 time before it get the page rendered ?.
3. Is it a mistake I did implement the valueChangeListener to set the values.
4. Finally is there any alternate way to implement the above scenario more efficiently.
thank you.....

Hi subu,
I am sorry that have not got it right.... let me explain in with an example code.
<af:table value="............"
var="row"
rows="..........."
selectedRowKeys="........................."
selectionListener="........................."
rowSelection="single" id="t1" styleClass="SimpleTable"
contentDelivery="immediate"
columnSelection="none"
disableColumnReordering="true"
horizontalGridVisible="false"
verticalGridVisible="false" dontPersist="ALL"
partialTriggers="........................."
autoHeightRows="5"
binding=".........................">
<af:column headerText="..............................." id="c6" width="45">
<af:inputListOfValues id="bankTypeId" value="......" required="......" columns="...." autoSubmit="true">
<f:validator binding="..............................."/>
</af:inputListOfValues>
</af:column>
<af:column sortProperty="....," sortable="false" id="c3" width="75">
<af:inputText value="....." required="....." autoSubmit="true" id="it23" >
<f:validator binding="...."/>
</af:inputText>
</af:column>
<af:column sortProperty="PayableByBacs" sortable="false" headerText="......." id="c7" width="60" align="center">
<af:selectBooleanCheckbox value="...." autoSubmit="true" id="sbc2"/>
</af:column>
</af:table>
Now the when I change value in 'bankTypeId' (LOV) the other pre-entered values gets refreshed even though they have no partial trigger. So I have included the autosubmit to the checkbox and text field too.....
Now the value stays when I change the LOV field value. But When I enter a new value in the text field (it23) and without shifting the focus I change the selectBooleanCheckbox value. It load for a second and the value gets changed to previous value.
I think now I made myself little bit more clearer.... Pls do tell if there needs any more clarity.
Thank you.......
