a4j:commandButton (commandLink) doesn't call methods after ajax reRender

[idyoshin]

hello,

I've reached a strange problem.

I have an ajaxified page for working with a list of objects (not entities). I have rich:modalPanel for editing and adding new objects, and rich:dataTable for outputing the current set of the objects.

for this purpose I've created the following template:

<a4j:outputPanel  id="mainOuptut">
   <a4j:form ajaxSubmit="true">
   <a4j:commandButton action="#{myBean.createInstance()}" value="Create" reRender="modalPanelContent"/>

   <rich:dataTable ... >
   </rich:dataTable>
   </a4j:form>
</a4j:outputPanel>


<rich:modalPanel id="modalPanel">
  <a4j:outputPanel id="modalPanelContent">

    .... 

   <a4j:commandButton value="save" action="#{myBean.save()}" reRender="mainOutput">
    
   </a4j:commandButton>
  </a4j:outputPanel>
</rich:modalPanel>

After first create - show ajax cycle, my createButton simply stops creating new instances (method not called)... 

Any suggestions?

Or I have to deal with richfaces team?

Best regards,
Ilya Dyoshin

created non ajaxified solution.

simply replaced void methods to String returning methods, and added self-rounded transitions in my pageflow (i.e. on outcome saved go to the same page) - now It works, but that actually non-ajax solution :( only the validation and save  is ajaxified, but after successfull save or remove the page completely reloads. that's sad.

but it works.

Did anyone faced the same problem?

Best regards,

Ilya Dyoshin.

I'm having a similar issue.  If I rerender a form, the commandLinks stop working.  But I noticed that things work fine on IE, but not on FireFox.  Digging deeper...
