Ajax jasf parameters problem

Question

I've set up a test application on very small scale so I won't need third party packages using ajax javascript to pass three parameters to JSF phase listener from pop-up menu created by mouseover event containg some links.
Upon hitting one of these links we set ajax cycle in motion and getting into JSF phase event listener code(via POST). The problem is none of three parameters is being passed to it. Any idea why?
It is fair amount of code that I need to cut and paste (javascript, jsf, phase listner) to supplement and I rather not though I realize it might be necessary.
Thanks a lot for consideration.

I have never worked with the AJAX + JSF combo before, but I know that you can invoke a managed bean action using javascript and the h:commandLink and h:commandButton elements.
<h:form id="form1">
    <h:commandLink id="link1" action="#{MyBean.action1}"><h:outputText value="link" /></h:commandLink>
    <h:commandButton id="button1" action="#{MyBean.action2}" value="button" />
</h:form>
<f:verbatim><script>
    function myFunction() {
        document.getElementById('form1:link1').onclick(); // this invokes the #{MyBean.action1}
        document.getElementById('form1:button1').click(); // this invokes the #{MyBean.action2}
</script></f:verbatim>I haven't tried other ways yet. But this might give you an idea.
