Selectitems populated in action and validation issue

Question

I have a SelectOneMenu populated using an action because its values depends on a submitted input text value.
On first submit the action is invoked and the submitted input text value is used to fetch selectitems values, on next submit I receive a validation error because the getter of the selectitems does not returns the same list during the apply request values phase as it did during the render response of the previous request.
I solved restoring the list of value from request to request using a Tomahawk savestate component,
any other workaround?
Thank you

I mean that you need <h:inputHidden binding="#{bean.hidden}" /> and use HtmlInputHidden#get/setValue() in your bean. The setter of a bound component won't be called in subsequent requests. Use lazy loading in the getter of the list.
