updateActionListener in JSF 1.2 - exec before outer action possible?

[Michael Heinen]

Hi,

What's the recommended migration for tomahawk updateActionListener from JSF 1.1 
to 1.2? I did not find any helpful hints so far.

In JSF 1.1 the updateActionListener was called before the Action/ActionListener 
of the outer command.
In JSF 1.2 the order has changed apparently. The component actionListener is 
invoked and then nested actionListeners.

f:setPropertyActionListener can be used but it is called after the outer 
command.
And the outer command is called twice in my case.

Is f:actionListener an alternative for Actions (not ActionListeners)? I didn't 
get this working.

JSF 1.1:
<t:commandButton id="acmd1" actionListener="#{MyController.doIt}"
  <t:updateActionListener property="#{MyController.stateId}" 
value="bean.value"/>
</tcommandButton>

Flow:
MyController.setStateId()
MyController.doIt()

JSF 1.2
<t:commandLink id="acmd1" action="#{MyController.doIt}">
  <f:setPropertyActionListener target="#{MyController.stateId}" 
value="#{bean.value}"/>
</t:commandLink>

Flow:
MyController.doIt()
MyController.setStateId()
MyController.doIt()

How did other people solve this?
