The issue here is that the component backing ui:repeat is a naming
container. The ID that you've given to the render attribute of f:ajax
is relative to the nearest naming container.
You can try using an absolute ID reference. Assuming repeat_selector
isn't nested within another UINamingContainer such as h:form, you could
change the render attribute to be ":repeat_selector". However, if
repeat_selector is within a form, you'll need to include the form ID in
the absolute ID reference (example ":form:repeat_selector").
