Facelets source tags not rendered in email

[mgrouch]

Facelets source tags not rendered in email pdf attachment when
it is rendered by calling renderer from action method. They are rendered properly if I specify 'view' attribute instead of 'action' on link tag

 public String emailAction() {
 try {
 renderer.render("/emailPdfAttachment.xhtml");
 facesMessages.add("Email sent successfully");
 }
 catch (Exception ex) {
 log.error(ex);
 facesMessages.add("Error sending email " + ex.getMessage());
 }
 return null;
 }

This is same problem as discussed in this thread

I need to stay on same page and add a message saying tha email has been sent. Is there any workaround?

Thanks
