Can rich:menuItem execute an action?

Please consider these two.

<s:button value="#{basket.name}" action="#{addToBasket.addToBasket}" />
<rich:menuItem value="#{basket.name}" action="#{addToBasket.addToBasket}" />

Button works good and executes my action, but menuItem is not. Why is that and what's the difference?
I'm using Seam 2.1.1GA.

It could sound a little bit stupid of me, but it happened before:
If you use the toolbar and the menus generated by the seam-gen ... the drop down menus are created with submitMode="none" which make the menuItem non-submittable by default. If that's the case, then change the submitMode to "server" or "ajax" at dropMenu or menuItem level.
