Full JSF Lifecycle, Action not invoked

[monkeyden]

I have a situation where the JSF lifecycle is being completed, including INVOKE_APPLICATION, but my action method is not being invoked. <s:link> gets in there but I'd prefer a post.

Synopsis:
I basically have three conditionally rendered <s:div>s representing a movie filetype selector (WMV, Real). The radio buttons just toggle the attribute used by <s:div>s rendered attribute, which is "selectedFileType".

public class MoviePopupAction implements Serializable{
 @Create
 @Begin(nested = true)
 public void create() {
 //some code to find the movie, see if it has both filetypes and set selectedFileType = 0 if it does
 }

 @End(ifOutcome = { "success" })
 public String close() {
 return "success";
 }

 public String playMovie() {

 }

 public Integer getSelectedFileType() {
 return selectedFileType;
 }

 public void setSelectedFileType(Integer selectedFileType) {
 this.selectedFileType = selectedFileType;
 }
 ....
}
