URLs for seam links from a data table with data scroller

[abafna.bafna.amit.gmail.com]

I have a data table with data scroller. The data table has a column with seam links with associated page parameters. When I click the link from first page of data table, URL is generated as expected and corresponding page is displayed properly. However, when I go to another page on the data table and try to access the links, URL is generated with values suffixed with some extra characters and the page is not displayed correctly. 

I am using Seam 2.0.2.GA with Richfaces 3.2.2 on JBoss 4.2.2

Has anyone else faced this issue? Or am I doing something wrong?

Here is the code:

Data Table

<rich:dataTable id="reportsTable" value="#{reports}" var="report" rows="10" reRender="reportListDS">
     <rich:column>#{report.name}</rich:column>

     <rich:column>
          <s:link value="Create Schedule" 
                    rendered="#{report.activeScheduleId == 0}" 
                    disabled="#{identity.email == null}" 
                    view="/scheduler.xhtml">
               <f:param name="scheduleId" />
               <f:param name="reportId" value="#{report.id}"/>
               <f:param name="fromView" value="reportSaved"/>
          </s:link>
          
          <s:link value="Edit Schedule" 
                    rendered="#{report.activeScheduleId != 0}" 
                    disabled="#{identity.email == null}" 
                    view="/scheduler.xhtml">
               <f:param name="scheduleId" value="#{report.activeScheduleId}" />
               <f:param name="reportId" />
               <f:param name="fromView" value="reportSaved"/>
          </s:link>
     </rich:column>

     <rich:column>
          <h:commandLink value="Inactivate" action="#{reportConfiguration.inactivateReport}">
               <f:param name="reportId" value="#{report.id}" />
               <s:conversationPropagation type="none" />
          </h:commandLink>
     </rich:column>

     <f:facet name="footer">
          <rich:datascroller id="reportListDS" align="center" maxPages="5"
               renderIfSinglePage="false" />
     </f:facet>
</rich:dataTable>

Pages.xml

<page view-id="/scheduler.xhtml" login-required="true" action="#{scheduleHome.checkData}">
    <begin-conversation join="true" flush-mode="manual"/>
    <description>Schedule Reports</description>
     
     <param name="scheduleId" value="#{scheduleHome.id}" converterId="javax.faces.Long" />
     <param name="reportId" value="#{scheduleHome.reportId}" converterId="javax.faces.Long"/>
     <param name="fromView"/>

     <navigation from-action="#{scheduleHome.checkData}">
          <rule if-outcome="invalid">
               <redirect view-id="/error.xhtml" />
          </rule>
     </navigation>
     
     <navigation>
          <rule if-outcome="success">
               <end-conversation before-redirect="true"/>
               <redirect view-id="/#{empty fromView ? 'mySavedReports' : fromView}.xhtml" />
          </rule>
     </navigation>
</page>

URL generated when link is clicked from first page of datatable

URL generated when link is clicked from second page of datatable

thats the html entity for "&"

looks like youre passing a string into one of from parameters or something.
when you output the link on the other page that you didnt show.
use escape="false" or something like that should work.

sorry i miss understood where it was breaking

<h:commandLink action="someAction">
  <h:outputText value="a <b>bold</b> String" escape="false"/>
</h:commandLink>

is was i was referring too. but its the same general concept that is breaking your table.
richfaces can be a little flaky like this at times... i didnt find it in the jira,, but  i didnt look that hard either... im sure this would be a bug.
i fight this kind of mess all the time with the non production versions (can any richfaces be considered a productions version.. just kidding guys) ...

trying using a

a4j:commandLink

pass it the params with

a4j:actionparm

including your conversation id.

#{conversation.id}

sometimes if you fiddle with it doing the same thing another way... it works. not my ideal programming approach either. but such is richfaces.

I did try a4j:commandLink but in vain. Also, if this were the case, how come the links are working just fine from first page???

Additionally, 2 of 3 values that are being passed are type 'Long'. Only 'fromView' parameter is a String

This is interesting. The issue is only with Safari. The links works fine from Firefox and IE.
