It ended up the source of all my problems was an invalid long to string conversion while rendering my select items. So if you are having endless hassles with a dependent select box in a table try this when you are rendering the lists to make sure you are not rendering a string and matching on long or int:     public List convertItem(List dataItems) {         ArrayList covertedList = new ArrayList ();         if (dataItems != null) {             for (Site dataItem : dataItems) {                 SelectItem item = new SelectItem(new String(dataItem.getId()), dataItem.getDescription());                 covertedList.add(item);             }  ...

Hard hard thing to do - table of dependant select items that you can add new rows to. (backing bean driven) (When you add a new row it keeps values from the previous row) In my search for the answer I made an forEach act like a table - by using the f:attribute to pass through the current row - crazy but I hopw this helps someone sometime. Stuff I learned             <af:selectOneChoice label="#{labelBundle['choice_lbl']}"                                 id="soc1" value="#{row.choiceId}"                                 valueChangeListener="#{pageFlowScope.testBean.choiceValueChange}"                                 required="true"                     ...
