Re: commandLink not working inside

[Navid Vahdat]

CommandLinks are not supposed to work in DataTables with their beans in pure request scope, AFAIK. You either have to * put the bean in session scope, * carry around the bean, using t:saveState, * set preserveDataModel to true or * make the getter to the list you present in the table have direct access to your data source. Otherwise, the datatable can't find it's data in the Apply Request Values Phase and no event is queued. Can anyone correct me, if my understanding is wrong, please?

This gave me a lot of headache...

This is on 1.0.9, I didn't try on 1.1.0. I'm still confused though, I didn't have the above code, but commandLink worked as well before I started the upgrading thing.       ----- Original Message ----- From: Saul Qunming Yuan To: MyFaces Discussion Sent: Saturday, September 24, 2005 10:09 AM Subject: commandLink not working inside <t:dataTable> Hi,   I ran into a strange problem with the commandLink inside <t:dataTable>. It doesn't go to the method in the backing bean when the link is clicked. This had been working well a week ago when my app was on 1.0.9 version. But I run into all kinds of problems including this one ever since I upgraded to 1.1.0. Now I decided to roll back my app to 1.0.9 version. What's strange now, not ALL commandLink links work inside <t:dataTable>, it works in some pages, but it doesn't in some other pages. This is really frustrating. Any ideas, folks?   thanks,   Saul
