What I want to add is that I thought MyFaces overcomes the general JSF
restriction by using url parameters as one can see in the following comment:
<context-param>
<param-name>org.apache.myfaces.ALLOW_JAVASCRIPT</param-name>
<param-value>true</param-value>
<description>
This parameter tells MyFaces if javascript code should be allowed
in the rendered HTML
output. If javascript is allowed, command_link anchors will have
javascript code that
submits the corresponding form. If javascript is not allowed, the
state saving info and
nested parameters will be added as url parameters. Default: "true"
</description>
</context-param>
So, when some links are working and some are not, isn't it a bug?
Greetings,
Robert

Betreff: AW: links not working when ALLOW_JAVASCRIPT is false
Thanks, for your quick reply!
I do not want to omit javascript entirely, but I saw that I can reduce the size
of the rendered html document significantly. I need that for only a singe page!
Is it possible to turn off javascript for one page only, or is there another
trick I can use? (Of course beside telling the customer to change requirements
;-)
I tried to implement this page with JSTL, but could not figure out how to call
JSF action methods from links.
Thanks,
Robert

A general JSF restriction, once a component has to rely on a command
link or a command link is set for form handling you only can trigger
the form submit via javascript then :-(
All I can say is if you have to omit javascript entirely, you will have
a hard time with jsf, especially if you need advanced components.
