Finally got it to work inside panelgrid. I don't understand it but it works.
Shasi, I think you are right about the problem is caused by rendered attribute
being evaluated as false when clicked. Below is what I did to get it to work.
Hopefully you or someone can explain why.
The code change that I made to get it to work is on this line only:
<h:panelGrid rendered="#{not empty sessionScope.MyAccountLoginType and
sessionScope.MyAccountLoginType==resources.LOGIN_TYPE_MY_ACCOUNT }">
It works if I change it to this:
<h:panelGrid rendered="#{ sessionScope.MyAccountLoginType=='MA'}">
Note : value of MA is what I have in my message bundle
"resources.LOGIN_TYPE_MY_ACCOUNT". Just to be sure, I did <h:outputText
value="#{resources.LOGIN_TYPE_MY_ACCOUNT} "/> and it output value of MA
correctly. Not sure why I can't use it to perform the rendered test.
I tried below and non of them work. But I don't know why:
<h:panelGrid rendered="#{not empty sessionScope.MyAccountLoginType and
sessionScope.MyAccountLoginType==resources.LOGIN_TYPE_MY_ACCOUNT }">
<h:panelGrid rendered="#{not empty sessionScope.MyAccountLoginType and
sessionScope.MyAccountLoginType=='MA' }">
<h:panelGrid rendered="${not empty sessionScope.MyAccountLoginType and
sessionScope.MyAccountLoginType=='MA' }">

I added an onclick="alert(#{not empty sessionScope.MyAccountLoginType and
sessionScope.MyAccountLoginType==resources.LOGIN_TYPE_MY_ACCOUNT })" on the
commandlink element and the alert showing value of true when I click on the
link.
<h:panelGrid
rendered="#{not empty
sessionScope.MyAccountLoginType and
sessionScope.MyAccountLoginType==resources.LOGIN_TYPE_MY_ACCOUNT }">
<h:outputText value=" "/>
<h:outputText value="|"/>
<h:commandLink
immediate="true"
onclick="alert(#{not empty
sessionScope.MyAccountLoginType and
sessionScope.MyAccountLoginType==resources.LOGIN_TYPE_MY_ACCOUNT })"
style="CURSOR: pointer"
action="#{commonTaskBean.fromMSAMBackToMyAccount}">
<h:outputText value="My Account"/>
</h:commandLink>
<h:outputText value="|"/>
</h:panelGrid>

After u click the link also the expression in the rendered attribute is
evaluated. That time it should be returning Faldo and hence ur action isn't
being fired. If u remove all the rendered attributes or keep ur bean in session
scope, it should work. Try printing the expression u gave in the rendered
attribute and check.
