> I've been trying to get a simple commandLink to work in a dataList. I have the dataList bound to a UIData component (binding="#{categoryAdmin.ancestorTree}") on the backing bean. It properly displays links. However, when i select the link it fails to call the appropriate action method (action="#{categoryAdmin.ancestor}")and returns back to the page. No error meassages are written to the screen or logs.
> Things i have tried with no success are:
> - placing my backing bean in session rather than request
> - placed <h:messages/> on the jsp to see any error messages (none appear)
> - Debugged the phases in the LifeCycleImpl. It hits all the full LifeCycle phases (restoreView,applyRequestValues,processValidations,updateModelValues,invokeApplication). However, i am not able to determine what is really happening in these phases to result in the outcome.
> - used h:commandLink and x:commandLink (both with session and request backing bean)
> - set a breakpoint in my action method (public String ancestor(){...}) method and it never gets called.
> Following is my page code. I provided the whole page to give context in case there are other conflicts that may be taking place. I'd be happy to provide a small app to reproduce this if my explanation is not enough.
