title: JSF 2 h:dataTable with inputText values binded to List. Values not updating
body: <p>I'm trying to display the data from a List contained in a bean via a datatable, and have actions performed by code as the user types. It initially displays ok, and changes to the List are reflected in UI.</p>
  
  <p>My issue is that values entered into the inputText are ignored. Tried looking for solutions, I've tried checking the List as the values changed, and also tried to check without the ajax in case that was the issue (no change). Have tried using session and view scoped bean without luck. Tried wrapping the Strings in a POJO.</p>
  
  <p>Going crazy here. Feel like I'm missing something obvious. Any idea?</p>
  
  <pre><code>        &lt;h:dataTable id="multioptionanswers"
              value="#{multiTextBean.texts}" var="texts"&gt;
              &lt;h:column&gt;
                  &lt;f:facet name="header"&gt;
                      &lt;h:outputText value="Enter Values"&gt;&lt;/h:outputText&gt;
                  &lt;/f:facet&gt;
                  &lt;h:inputText value="#{texts}" immediate="true"&gt;
                          &lt;f:ajax event="blur" execute=":addgroup"
                          render=":addgroup"
                          listener="#{multiTextBean.update}" /&gt;
                  &lt;/h:inputText&gt;
          &lt;/h:column&gt;
      &lt;/h:dataTable&gt;
  </code></pre>
  
  <p>**addgroup is a panel group that the data table resides in.</p>
