Java EE (Java Enterprise Edition) General Discussion

dear all,

I have a drop down list in my application linked with another.
I would like to reset to the default value the second drop down list according to the value selected in the first drop down.

Here first drop down with its valueChangeListener

	<h:selectOneMenu  id="idSourcingType"   valueChangeListener="#{sourcingTypeController.selectInputValueChanged}" 
		value="...."> 					
			<f:selectItems    id="SlctSourcingTypeItms" value="#{applicationDefaultDataController.allSourcingTypes}"/>		
		</h:selectOneMenu>

Here the second drop down to reset to default value

	<h:selectOneMenu  id="idEventCountry"   binding="#{sourcingTypeController.eventCoutriesComponent}"> 	 
    				<f:selectItems    id="SlctEventCountryItms" value="#{applicationDefaultDataController.eventCountries}"/>		
		</h:selectOneMenu>

The problem is there is no link between my two classes: sourcingTypeController and applicationDefaultDataController.
I can access to the applicationDefaultDataController.eventCountries.
The applicationDefaultDataController is a backing bean in session scope use to fill all componants of the application.

I try by using the binding like following:

SelectItem[] eventCountriesArray = this.eventCoutriesComponent.getSelectItems();	

but I have no way to set the SelectItem[] updated.
Any idea? Any advice?
