Question

I have strange problem with p:commandLink tag when i use it with the ui:repeat tag !

commandLink doesn’t work at all .

this my xhtml code :

<h:form>
    <ui:repeat varStatus="miteraionno" value="#{bussinessOwnerViewerMB.bOwner.bOBranches}" var="branch" >

        <div class="details" >       

        <ul class="services">
            <li>
               <p:commandLink actionListener="#{bussinessOwnerViewerMB.testMethod}" styleClass="nav_services" oncomplete="">
                    <h:outputText value="#{branch.branchName}"/>
               </p:commandLink>
            </li>
        </ul>
        </div>
    </ui:repeat>

the ActionListener is just test method :

public void testMethod(){
    System.out.println("BussinessOwnerViewerMB.changeMapListener()");
}

i try c:foreach but it gives me the same result !

any help will be appreciated ..

Answer 1

Change method signature into

public void testMethod(ActionEvent event){
    System.out.println("BussinessOwnerViewerMB.changeMapListener()");
} 

Or change actionListener=... into action="...

also take a look at following answer by BalusC

Differences between action and actionListener

EDIT

Change the scope of your bean into View Scope (cause now its Request Scope)

And read bullet N#4 at the h:commandLink / h:commandButton is not being invoked by BalusC
