Hi

i used render action but after the user is logged in and the page is refreshed only the link is visible

<h:panelGroup id="read" rendered="#{identity.loggedIn}">
 <s:link view="/EditReview.xhtml" value="Edit Review" rendered="#{identity.username==exp1.userId}">
 <f:param name="revid" value="#{exp1.reviewEntryId}"/>
 </s:link>

 </h:panelGroup>

<a:commandButton id="register" value="Register" action="#{register.register}" oncomplete="windowclose1();" reRender="read"/>

the aboove link type is working in other pages
but inside the datatable its not working
how to rectify

 <s:link view="/EditReview.xhtml" value="Edit Review" id="read "rendered="#{identity..loggedIn}">

both of it not working

you can't update directly the element which was not rendered before request, as in this case - nothng to update in DOM tree. So make one more wrapper (outputPanel) and update it.
