Question

I have a JSF/RichFaces setup with an index.jsp which a4j:includes another piece of code which contains a rich:dataTable.

It in

Answer 1

I often experience this when I reRender commandButtons/Links.

Your a4j:form is in effect reRendering itself. Try changing it to something like this:

<a4j:form>
    <a4j:outputPanel id="panel">
        <h:outputText style="text-align: center" value="Select " />
        <h:selectOneMenu id="mySelect" value="#{MyBacking.chosen}">
            <f:selectItems value="#{MyBacking.myList}" />
        </h:selectOneMenu>
    </a4j:outputPanel>
    <a4j:commandButton value="Retrieve" reRender="panel"/>
</a4j:form>

UPDATE: move your h:form to enclose the a4j:include. Pretty sure that it needs a form and of course you can't nest forms.

The fix was to install a facelets jar. See here.
