I have a jsp containing two forms. The first form has database selection
criteria, and the second form contains the results in a dataTable with each row
containing a commandLink. The idea is to have a single view showing both the
selections and the results. I tried splitting the selection and the results
into separate views but that also failed in the same way.
When I run this via a my debugger the commandLink within the dataTable does not
call it's action (searchSelect). Interestingly, when I copy/past this same
commandLink beneath the dataTable it does execute the action.
I am using MyFaces and Tiles.
Any ideas?
Thanks in advance.

Here is my jsp:
...
<h:form id="operatorMntSearch">
<h:panelGrid
border="1"
cellspacing="2"
cellpadding="2"
columns="3"
footerClass="starraPanelGridFooter"
headerClass="starraPanelGridHeader"
styleClass="starraBody">

<h:outputText value="#{msg['class.SystemOperatorMnt']}"/>
</f:facet>
<f:facet name="footer">

<%@ include file="/jspf/common/searchButtons.jsp" %>
</h:panelGroup>
</f:facet>
<h:outputLabel for="syOperatorId">
<h:outputText value="#{msg['app.Operator.id']}"/>
<h:outputText value="#{msg['symbol.sep1']}"/>
</h:outputLabel>
<h:panelGroup>
<h:inputText id="syOperatorId" size="6"
value="#{systemOperatorMnt.key01}"/>
</h:panelGroup>
<h:panelGroup>
<h:commandButton action="#{commonHelp.helpGo}" id="operatorMntSub1"
value="#{msg['button.Help']}"/>
</h:panelGroup>
<h:outputLabel for="name">

</h:panelGrid>
</h:form>
<h:form id="operatorMntSearchData">
<h:dataTable
border="1"
cellspacing="2"
value="#{systemOperatorMnt.searchModel}"
var="systemOperatorBean">
<h:column>
<f:facet name="header">
<h:outputText value="id"/>
</f:facet>
<h:commandLink action="#{systemOperatorMnt.searchSelect}"
immediate="true">
<h:outputText value="This link fails to call searchSelect. id=
#{systemOperatorBean.syOperatorId}"/>
</h:commandLink>
</h:column>
<h:column>
<f:facet name="header">
<h:outputText value="logonName"/>
</f:facet>
<h:outputText value="#{systemOperatorBean.logonName}"/>
</h:column>
<h:column>
<f:facet name="header">
<h:outputText value="name"/>
</f:facet>
<h:outputText value="#{systemOperatorBean.name}"/>
</h:column>
</h:dataTable>
<h:commandLink action="#{systemOperatorMnt.searchSelect}" immediate="true">
<h:outputText value="This link does call searchSelect. id=

</h:commandLink>
</h:form>
This generates the following html:
