Tree component event action

Question

Hello
There's a page which contains the following 3 components: Input textfield, Button, Tree
I made the following settings of them:
I set the "event action" at the tree node, and so did I at the button properties.
When I click on the button, the action runs and set the value of the Input textfield:
�this.i_textField1.setValue("something");� - the Input textfield display it as it should.
When I click on the tree node and the event action runs (it can be tracked in debug mode) which runs �this.i_textField1.setValue('something');�, but the textfield doesn't display it.
Any suggestions?
Thanks

The root problem is that the tree node component always behaves as though it had an immediate property set to "true". You'll get the same behavior from button or hyperlink or any other action component is you set immediate="true". The text field submitted values are not cleared, and so the text field redisplays them instead of the value that is set in code or obtained by evaluating the binding on the session bean.
There is a work-around. There is a page bean method, erase(), which will clear all submitted values. Call this before you set the new values, e.g.:
    public String treeNode1_action() {
        this.erase();
     textField2.setValue("Tree Node");
        staticText2.setValue("Tree Node");
     getSessionBean1().setTemp("Tree Node");
        return null;
