Actions are not called from elements within an "<ui:repeat"

[rave]

Hi there,
We're running an application using Seam 2.0.1 (on Debian Etch)
When I try to call an action from within a dataTable nested in  a 'ui:repeat' element, the action never got called.
The only element that seems to work is 's:link'.

<ui:repeat var="fooBar" value="#{m_FooBarMap}">
   <h:form>
      <h:dataTable value="#{fooBar.value}" var="foo">
         <h:column>
            <!-- doesnt work -->
            <h:commandLink action="#{fooAction.sayBar}" value="hLink" />
            <!-- works as expected -->
            <s:link action="#{fooAction.sayBar}" value="sLink" />       
         </h:column>
      </h:dataTable>
   </h:form>
</ui:repeat>

Actually I would rather need a 'h:selectOneMenu' or a 'h:selectBooleanCheckbox', than a link there - I just used a link to illustrate the strange behavior.

Any clue?
Potentially a bug in Seam 2.0.1?

ramon,

i was having a similar frustrating problem with dataTable inside <ui:repeat>. changing the <ui:repeat> to <a4j:repeat> solved the problem for me. (using richfaces 3.2.0, YMMV).

hth,

Thanks for your reply Simon, but unfotunately the workaround you mentioned didn't solve my issue :(

Sorry, but I forgott to mention, that my problem only occurs, if the ui:repeat iterates over a Map (containing Lists)

[rave]

Strange stuff:
If I change the scope of the action class from @Stateless to @Stateful @Scope(ScopeType.SESSION) the action is called - while @Stateful without scope session, it's not invoked @all..

Of course any help would still be extremely appreciated ;)

Are you sure #{m_FooBarMap} is still in scope when the request is submitted?

[rave]

Nope, it was not.
Even when I changed its scope to @Stateful @Scope(ScopeType.PAGE) it was not.
The only way it seems to work is @Stateful with @Scope(ScopeType.SESSION).
It seems that Seam handles the scope of a map containing lists different than simple lists or maps..
