As a quick fix, we ran into this as well when we enclosed our DataTables in <h:form> components. Try moving the <h:form> to just the pieces that need it, and it should allow your action to be called. I agree that this is a bug (just trying to provide a work-around).

I have the dataList bound to a UIData component (binding="#{categoryAdmin.ancestorTree}") on the backing bean. It properly displays links. However, when i select the link it fails to call the appropriate action method (action="#{categoryAdmin.ancestor}")and returns back to the page. No error meassages are written to the screen or logs. Things i have tried with no success are: - placing my backing bean in session rather than request - placed <h:messages/> on the jsp to see any error messages (none appear) - Debugged the phases in the LifeCycleImpl. It hits all the full LifeCycle phases (restoreView,applyRequestValues,processValidations,updateModelValues,invokeApplication). However, i am not able to determine what is really happening in these phases to result in the outcome. - used h:commandLink and x:commandLink (both with session and request backing bean) - set a breakpoint in my action method (public String ancestor(){...}) method and it never gets called. Following is my page code. I provided the whole page to give context in case there are other conflicts that may be taking place. I'd be happy to provide a small app to reproduce this if my explanation is not enough. <%@ taglib uri="http://java.sun.com/jsf/core";; prefix="f"%> <%@ taglib uri="http://java.sun.com/jsf/html";; prefix="h"%> <%@ taglib uri="http://myfaces.apache.org/extensions";; prefix="x"%> <h:form> <x:dataList id="ancestorTree" var="ancestor" binding="#{categoryAdmin.ancestorTree}"> <x:commandLink action="#{categoryAdmin.ancestor}" value="#{ancestor.title}"/> </x:dataList> <h:commandButton styleClass="buttonnormal" action="#{categoryAdmin.add}" value="Add Category"/> <h:inputHidden id="categoryAdmin_parentCategoryId" value="#{categoryAdmin.parentCategoryId}"/> <!-- category list --> <h:dataTable style="margin: 10px; border: 1px solid black" var="category" binding="#{categoryAdmin.categoryTable}"> <h:column> <f:facet name="header"> <h:outputText value="Title" style="border-bottom: 1px solid black"/> </f:facet> <h:commandLink action="#{categoryAdmin.child}"> <h:outputText value="#{category.title}"/> </h:commandLink> <f:facet name="footer"> <h:outputText value="" style="border-top: 1px solid black"/> </f:facet> </h:column> <h:column> <f:facet name="header"> <h:outputText value="" style="border-bottom: 1px solid black"/> </f:facet> <h:commandLink action="#{categoryAdmin.edit}"><h:outputText value="Edit"/></h:commandLink> <f:facet name="footer"> <h:outputText value="" style="border-top: 1px solid black"/> </f:facet> </h:column> <h:column> <f:facet name="header"> <h:outputText value="Tree" style="border-bottom: 1px solid black"/> </f:facet> <h:outputText value="#{category.ancestorTree}"/> <f:facet name="footer"> <h:outputText value="" style="border-top: 1px solid black"/> </f:facet> </h:column> </h:dataTable> <h:commandButton styleClass="buttonnormal" action="#{categoryAdmin.add}" value="Add Category"/> </h:form> -- This message is automatically generated by JIRA. - If you think it was sent incorrectly contact one of the administrators: http://issues.apache.org/jira/secure/Administrators.jspa - For more information on JIRA, see: http://www.atlassian.com/software/jira
