                            #{lst.rowState}
                        </p:column>     


                    </p:dataTable>



                <h:outputLabel value="Enter Country Name:"/>
                <h:inputText id="country" binding="#{testing.country}"
                valueChangeListener="#{testing.findCapitalListener}"
                immediate="true"
                onchange="document.getElementById('findcapital').click();" />
                <br/>
                <br/>
                <h:outputLabel value="Capital is: " />
                <h:inputText id="capital" binding="#{testing.capital}" immediate="true"/>
                <br/>
                <br/>
                <h:commandButton  value="Submit" partialSubmit="true" />
                <div style="visibility: hidden" >
                    <h:commandButton id="findcapital" value="findcapital" partialSubmit="true"  immediate="true" />
                </div>

            </h:form>    
        </h:body> 
    </html>

I want entry made in text box named country to update datatable named ListSites. The associated listener is called (system.out.println made) but the primeface update is not made. Here is the listener:

   ```
        public void findCapitalListener(ValueChangeEvent cdl) {
        String country = cdl.getNewValue().toString();
        System.out.println("Country is : " + country);
        StringBuilder capitalCountry = new StringBuilder();
        findCapital(country, capitalCountry);
        capital.setValue(capitalCountry.toString());    
        siteDto = listSiteDto.get(0);
        siteDto.setStDescription(capitalCountry.toString());
        listSiteDto.set(0, siteDto);
        PrimeFaces.current().ajax().update("FrmTest:ListSites");
        //System.out.println("Capital is : " + capital.getValue());
        //System.out.println("New DTO Description : " + siteDto.getStDescription());
        System.out.println("New list Description : " + listSiteDto.get(0).getStDescription());
        }
    ```

The problem was due to the fact that the function populating the datatable (SiteSearch()) was retrieving data from the database. At that stage I wanted to refresh the page display before updating the database. I replaced the function by the list getter, things are working properly now.
