Hi folks,
I got a weird issue about page scope and ajax request.

(running on Seam 2.1.2, Jboss 4.2.3, JVM 1.6, Richfaces 3.2.2.GA)

I have a seam managed bean

@Name("console")
@Scope(ScopeType.PAGE)
@MeasureCalls
public class consoleAction implements Serializable { 
..
..
public void startUp() {..}
}

my pages.xml look like to

 <page view-id="console.xhtml" action="#{console.startUp}" login-required="true" />

in my xhtml page i got a a4j:commandLink to perfom an action and reRender a a4j:outputpanel, something like

<a4j:commandLink action="#{console.selectAbox(abj[0])}" limitToList="true" reRender="outputPanel_xxx" >

The weird fact is that analysing the bean invokations, when I hit the a4j:commandLink then Seam re-invoke startUp() method.

AFAIK withe a4j the page is not submitted therefore seam should not reload the page using the pages.xml attributes, right ?

thanks a lot
