a4j:support only working on commandbutton after first click?

[btj]

I have the following code:

<rich:column style="text-align: center;">
 <h:commandButton value="#{msgs.show_deal}" action="#{dealController.showDeal}">
 <a4j:support event="onclick">
 <a4j:actionparam value="#{supplier.id}" name="param1" assignTo="#{dealController.chosenSupplierId}"/>
 </a4j:support>
 </h:commandButton>
</rich:column>

The first time I click the button, the action on the button is called _before_ the actionparam but after the first time, the actionparam is always called before the action method on the button...

What am I missing?

I think you not really need two concurrent request fired. But currently you have. One from commandButton and the second fired by support. Just replace the construction with a4j:commandButton

I can't, because I need a full submit and not an ajax request... The button action will stream a file back to the browser.... (and that doesn't seem to work with ajax requests...)

then remove support.

[btj]

yes, I could... But as you perhaps saw, is that this is inside a table and I need to know which row is selected (in which row the button is), so I need a way to set an id...
tried using just f:param but for some reasons, the param value is not set either...

Hmmm... Ok, maybe my fault... it looks like f:param only works with commandlink and not commandbutton... (A)
