One thing to double check is whether some validation rules are failing, which would cause the action method call to get bypassed. The simplest way to verify this is to add an <h:messages> component to your page, which will display any validation messages that exist, or nothing if there were no messages.
It's also possible that an exception is getting eaten somewhere along the way ... check the log file of your servlet container as well for any stack traces.
