Simple page that works with MyFaces doesn't work with Sun RI

[Scrut Inizer <sc...@hotmail.com>]

Hi

I wrote a very simple JSF page as shown below. It works as is with MyFaces. 
Now I tried to make it work with Sun RI as well.

Here's the problem: The page appears perfectly fine (it shows two columns of 
links). Only one single link works, though: the first one in the left 
column.
When I click on that first link, the action handler method ("userClick") is 
called and executed fine.

But when I click on any other link, the method is not called at all. All I 
get is an "error on page" message in the browser status bar. No log message 
on the command line or log file.
Am I doing something wrong? With MyFaces it works fine.

Here's the page:

=======================================

I don't think I need to show the backing bean with the userClick() method 
since the error is that this method is not even called (I added a 
system.out.println() to this method - which is never executed)

So the problem must be before

BTW I am using Sun RI 1.1.01 as shipped with the MyEclipseIDE extensions.

Thanks a lot for your very much appreciated help
