public abstract class AjaxFormComponentUpdatingBehavior
extends AjaxEventBehavior

A behavior that updates the hosting FormComponent via ajax when an event it is attached to is triggered. This behavior encapsulates the entire form-processing workflow as relevant only to this component so if validation is successful the component's model will be updated according to the submitted value.

NOTE: This behavior does not validate any IFormValidators attached to this form even though they may reference the component being updated.

NOTE: This behavior does not work on Choices or Groups use the AjaxFormChoiceComponentUpdatingBehavior for that.

1.2
