Value is not getting set in messageTextInput item after PPR action

Question

Hi everyone,
I have a page in which On selecting a value from a lov, the next messageTextInput item should be set to "dummy"(I am using setText() method for this). However its not getting set at that time . But if I apply the same code in click event of submitbutton, its getting set. i.e. some kind of page refresh event is required for this.
Plz suggest me the way of achieving this through PPR.
My code of controller is like this :
public void processFormRequest(OAPageContext pageContext, OAWebBean webBean)
super.processFormRequest(pageContext, webBean);
OAApplicationModule am =
(OAApplicationModule)pageContext.getApplicationModule(webBean);
/* validation code for Preffered ordering Method LOV */
if (pageContext.isLovEvent())
String lovInputSourceId = pageContext.getLovInputSourceId();
if(lovInputSourceId.equals("PreferredOrderingMethodLOV"))
if(!selectedPrefferedOrderingMethod.matches("URL"))
String v_ani = pageContext.getParameter("AribaNetworkId");
if(!v_ani.matches("dummy") || v_ani.length()==0)
OAMessageTextInputBean aribaNetworkIDTextInputBean =
(OAMessageTextInputBean)webBean.findIndexedChildRecursive ("AribaNetworkId");
String dummy = "dummy";
aribaNetworkIDTextInputBean.setText(pageContext, dummy);//.setText(pageContext,"dummy"); // here its not getting set on page
String s = aribaNetworkIDTextInputBean.getText(pageContext); // however its showing "dummy"here
}

Hi,
OAMessageTextInputBean aribaNetworkIDTextInputBean =
(OAMessageTextInputBean)webBean.findIndexedChildRecursive ("AribaNetworkId");
String dummy = "dummy";
aribaNetworkIDTextInputBean.setText(pageContext, dummy);//.setText(pageContext,"dummy"); // here its not >getting set on page
String s = aribaNetworkIDTextInputBean.getText(pageContext); // however its showing "dummy"here
In processFormRequest() method we should not change bean properties.
Instead, achieve your requirement using
row.setAttribute() method.
