SelectOneChoice value getting reset

Question

Hi All,
My page has 4 conditional selectOneChoice components.
1.State
2.City
3.Area
4.Zipcode
I have partialtriggers for all components.When i select "State" my valueChangeListener gets called and values for "City" comes but the value for "State" selectOneChoice gets reset to "Unselected label".
Please let me know the reason for value getting reset.
Following is the code
JSPX page
<af:selectOneChoice id="compId328"
value="#{bindings.State.inputValue}"
label="#{messageBean['SS_UM_STATE']}"
required="#{ !umRegistrationIdtypeChange.tdnRegPprFlag}"
unselectedLabel="#{messageBean['SS_UM_STATE_SELECT']}"
autoSubmit="true" inlineStyle="width: 125px"
binding="#{umRegistrationIdtypeChange.stateSelecOneChoice}"
valueChangeListener="#{umRegistrationIdtypeChange.chngCity}" >
<af:selectItem label="AN" value="AN"/>
<af:selectItem label="AP" value="AP"/>
<af:selectItem label="AR" value="AR"/>
<af:selectItem label="AS" value="AS"/>
<af:selectItem label="UP" value="UP"/>
<af:selectItem label="WB" value="WB"/>
</af:selectOneChoice>

inlineStyle="width: 125px"

autoSubmit="true"
valueChangeListener="#{umRegistrationIdtypeChange.chngArea}">
<f:selectItems value="#{umRegistrationIdtypeChange.returnCityList}"/>
</af:selectOneChoice>
<af:selectOneChoice id="compId334"

<f:selectItems value="#{umRegistrationIdtypeChange.returnAreaList}"/>
</af:selectOneChoice>
<af:selectOneChoice id="compId335"

</af:selectOneChoice>

Code in Bean
public List<SelectItem> chngCity(ValueChangeEvent valueChangeEvent) {
log.info("Call the chngCity method");
returnCityList = new ArrayList<SelectItem>();
String state = valueChangeEvent.getNewValue().toString();
if (state != null) {
List<Object> returnPickList = RegAMImpl.getCity(state);
for (Object obj: returnPickList) {
SelectItem si = new SelectItem();
String eDistValues = obj.toString();
si.setLabel(new String(eDistValues));
si.setValue(new String(eDistValues));
returnCityList.add(si);
return returnCityList;
public List<SelectItem> chngArea(ValueChangeEvent valueChangeEvent) {
log.info("Call the chngArea method");
returnAreaList = new ArrayList<SelectItem>();
String city = valueChangeEvent.getNewValue().toString();
if (city != null) {
List<Object> returnPickList = RegAMImpl.getArea(city);
for (Object obj: returnPickList) {
SelectItem si = new SelectItem();
String eDistValues = obj.toString();
si.setLabel(new String(eDistValues));
si.setValue(new String(eDistValues));
returnAreaList.add(si);
return returnAreaList;
public List<SelectItem> chngPincode(ValueChangeEvent valueChangeEvent) {
log.info("Call the chngPincode method");
returnPincodeList = new ArrayList<SelectItem>();
String area = valueChangeEvent.getNewValue().toString();
if (area != null) {
List<Object> returnPickList = RegAMImpl.getPincode(area);
for (Object obj: returnPickList) {
SelectItem si = new SelectItem();
String eDistValues = obj.toString();
si.setLabel(new String(eDistValues));
si.setValue(new String(eDistValues));
returnPincodeList.add(si);
return returnPincodeList;
public void chngPostalCode(ValueChangeEvent valueChangeEvent) {
String pincode = valueChangeEvent.getNewValue().toString();
UMPostalCodeTypeVOImpl pincodeVO = RegAMImpl.getUMPostalCodeTypeVO1();
ViewCriteria vc = pincodeVO.createViewCriteria();
ViewCriteriaRow vcr = vc.createViewCriteriaRow();
vcr.setAttribute("ParentName", pincode);
vc.insertElementAt(vcr, 0);
pincodeVO.applyViewCriteria(vc);
In pagedef i have also added RefreshCondition="{adfFacesContext.postback==true}" for iterators of VO's binded to selectOneChoice
<iterator id="ContactAddressVO1Iterator" RangeSize="-1"
Binds="Root.RegistrationAM1.ContactAddressVO1"
DataControl="SessionAMDataControl" RefreshCondition="{adfFacesContext.postback==true}"/>
<iterator id="RegStateTypeVO1Iterator" RangeSize="-1" RefreshCondition="{adfFacesContext.postback==true}"
Binds="Root.RegistrationAM1.RegStateTypeVO1"
DataControl="SessionAMDataControl"/>
<iterator id="UMCityTypeVO1Iterator" RangeSize="-1" RefreshCondition="{adfFacesContext.postback==true}"
Binds="Root.RegistrationAM1.UMCityTypeVO1"
DataControl="SessionAMDataControl"/>
<iterator id="UMCityAreaTypeVO1Iterator" RangeSize="-1" RefreshCondition="{adfFacesContext.postback==true}"
Binds="Root.RegistrationAM1.UMCityAreaTypeVO1"
DataControl="SessionAMDataControl"/>
<iterator id="UMPostalCodeTypeVO1Iterator" RangeSize="-1" RefreshCondition="{adfFacesContext.postback==true}"
Binds="Root.RegistrationAM1.UMPostalCodeTypeVO1"
DataControl="SessionAMDataControl"/>

Please read the FAQ http://forums.oracle.com/forums/help.jspa and format your code, as it is unreadable.
Next you need to supply more information about your environment like jdev version and technology stack you are using.
