a4j:commandLink need click in twice time in richfaces4.0

[feuyeux]

I am in migration from 3.3.3 to 4.0, the most codes are not changed and they work well under rf3.3.3.

I find the link doen't work well, it will work when I click in twice time.

I use firebug to find the difference of the two time post, there is no viewstate in first time.

I have no idea about the phenomena.

Please help.

<a4j:commandLink id="editButton" render="subContent" value="#{group.groupName}" styleClass="link" action="#{groupsBean.editGroup}">

                                                            <f:param name="bizId" value="#{group.groupId}"></f:param>

</a4j:commandLink>

First time post:

Hi,

have you tried using a <h:commandLink> instead of an <a4j:commandLink>? I experience a similar behavior when using the <a4j:commandLink> nested in a form (if you don't need a form try to put the <a4j:commandLink> outside of it).

Moreover, you could put a <a4j:region> around the things you want to submit and add execute="@region" to the commandLink.

Stephan, any sumbitting component no matter h: or a4j: one requires form around it.

Lu Han, b.t.w. do you have a few forms or just one on the page? There were some problems in JSF 2 itself with view states if multiple forms used.

Hi IIya,

Thanks firstly, and your answer is very useful for me, and I think our project seems need more than one form in the same page.

Do you have relevant experience about this? I think if jsf2 has this issue, all kinds of faces need to face it, would you remmend some approaches?

Hi Stephan,

Thanks, and what IIya said is right

Lu Han, after some digging find that thread (link to JSF issue inside) http://community.jboss.org/message/591671#591671

Hope it will help you to resolve your problem!
