In my JSF page I have a combobox that updates a table when an item of the combobox is selected.

The table contains items with an edit link.

The problem is when the table is changed by the combobox you need to click twice on the link to go to the page. The first click just refresh the page.

Here is the xhtml:

                <h:form prependId="false">

                        <f:selectItems value="#{platformService.releasePlatform.sections}" />
                    </h:selectOneMenu>
                </h:form>
                <p/>

                            #{package.name}

                                    <f:param name="packageName" value="#{package.name}" />
                                </h:commandLink>

I’ve also tried with commandButton but you also need to click twice on the button.

I’m running JSF 2.0.1-FCS in Maven/Jetty.

    It works when you put the table inside a single <h:form>. Remove the inner <h:form> from the column and replace <h:panelGroup id="list-packages"> by <h:form id="list-packages">.

    I am not sure how/why this problem is caused (requires more time to investigate) but it’s probably related to the fact that the table’s state is important to know which row was selected.
