You actually DO need commandLink's to be nested inside of a form. MyFaces has a convenience where it will create a dummy form for commandLink's that aren't inside of a form, but this is not to spec.
aahh ok that explains it:) I was using commandLink before MyFaces and remember needing the h:form. Then I started including the MyFaces jars so that explains why now it works without me having to include the h:form.
