Action execution order

[mtpettyp]

I've got an h:commandLink as follows:

<h:commandLink action="#{something.doAction(entity)}">
 Go
 </h:commandLink>

<rich:dataTable value="#{query.resultList}" var="entity">
 <snip/>
</rich:dataTable>

The problem I'm having is that when the request is submitted, the call to EntityQuery.getResultList() is performed before something.doAction(entity).


Since something.doAction() affects EntityQuery.getResultSet(), I need to find a way to get it to be called first. Anyone know of an easy way to do this?

You can't - thats the way JSF works. Design your app accordingly.
