why a4j:commandButton can not invoke action

[sunnyspring]

we are working a web project, there is a serious problem...

the jsf code as below；

<a4j:commandButton value="搜索" action="#{simpleRetrospectSession.searchSmallPack}" render="results" execute="search"

                onbegin="document.getElementById('results').style.display = 'none';document.getElementById('comField').style.display = ''; document.getElementById('sampleField').style.display = 'none';"

                oncomplete="if(#{simpleRetrospectSession.resultFlag} == true) document.getElementById('results').style.display = '';" rendered="#{true}"/>

             <rich:messages  value="#{simpleRetrospectSession.msg}" sytle="color:red"></rich:messages>

there is a searching function, if I log in, it works. But if I request the function directly without log in, it does not.

If you know, please tell me ... thanks very much .

I assume the function is not checking if you're logged in. In what way does it not work? Is the function never invoked? What does logging in do?

thanks for your response. If I have logged in, the method is invoked, and the search function works. But if I don't, it does not. logging in collects the information of user and the resources or links used by user who logged in. In our project, there is a specific resource link needing anyone can interview both logging in and not. I added the resource information to the session, if there is not user info. the web page has the resource info, but the button can not work. I don't know whether I said clearly......

Can you try using <a4j:log /> and see if there are any errors? Is the ajax request sent?
