It's my first post on stackoverflow so I hope I won't make too many mistakes.
I've a problem with filling Java List and sending it to aui:select as options. My goal is to fill aui:select dynamically whenever one of their options is changed. For example: if you change first select item (county), second and third items (community and city respectively) are emptied and then filled with data dependent on selected county.
I've come to a conclusion that whenever there's a "mvcPath" parameter in Query String Parameters this code basically copies code from the whole page. This code works well whenever there's no "mvcPath" though. Sadly, I need this parameter to change pages (from search results to selected result details).

After some changes in server-side code I managed to fix this issue. I'm not really sure how did as small changes as those helped but I'm happy to close this thread.
This is the server-side code:
public void serveResource(ResourceRequest resourceRequest, ResourceResponse resourceResponse)
throws IOException, PortletException {
String communityName = "";
long communityId = 0;
String cityName = "";
long cityId = 0;
String countySelected = ParamUtil.getString(resourceRequest, "countySelected");
long countySelectedId = ParamUtil.getLong(resourceRequest, "countyDictionaryId");
String communitySelected = ParamUtil.getString(resourceRequest, "communitySelected");
long communitySelectedId = ParamUtil.getLong(resourceRequest, "communityDictionaryId");
JSONArray jsonArray = JSONFactoryUtil.createJSONArray();
if (countySelected.equalsIgnoreCase("countySelected")) {
try {
int communitiesCount = CommunityDictionaryLocalServiceUtil.getCommunityDictionariesCount();
List<CommunityDictionary> communities = CommunityDictionaryLocalServiceUtil.getCommunityDictionaries(0,
communitiesCount);
if (countySelectedId == 0) {
for (CommunityDictionary community : communities) {
communityName = community.getCommunityName();
communityId = community.getCommunityDictionaryId();
JSONObject communityObject = JSONFactoryUtil.createJSONObject();
communityObject.put("communityName", communityName);
communityObject.put("communityDictionaryId", communityId);
jsonArray.put(communityObject);
}
} else {
for (CommunityDictionary community : communities) {
if (community.getCountyDictionaryId() == countySelectedId) {
communityName = community.getCommunityName();
communityId = community.getCommunityDictionaryId();
JSONObject communityObject = JSONFactoryUtil.createJSONObject();
communityObject.put("communityName", communityName);
communityObject.put("communityDictionaryId", communityId);
jsonArray.put(communityObject);
}
}
}
} catch (SystemException e) {
e.printStackTrace();
}
}
if (communitySelected.equalsIgnoreCase("communitySelected")) {
try {
