Bookmark method for a page is not getting called

Question

Hi,
I am developing a simple ADF application which contains two jspx pages, in JDEVELOPER 11g (build JDEVADF_MAIN_GENERIC_080910.1420.5124).
I have a commandLink in Page1 which takes me to the Page2.I have a bookmark method for Page2, which gets called when I load the page.
When I access the Page2 directly,the corresponding bookmark method is getting called.But when I navigates it through commandLink provided in Page1,the bookmark method is not getting called.
Page1.jspx:
<?xml version='1.0' encoding='UTF-8'?>
<jsp:root xmlns:jsp="http://java.sun.com/JSP/Page" version="2.1"
xmlns:f="http://java.sun.com/jsf/core"
xmlns:af="http://xmlns.oracle.com/adf/faces/rich">
<jsp:directive.page contentType="text/html;charset=UTF-8"/>
<f:view>
<af:document maximized="true">
<af:form>
<af:commandLink text="Go to Page2" action="page2" />
</af:form>
</af:document>
</f:view>
</jsp:root>
Page2.jspx:
<?xml version='1.0' encoding='UTF-8'?>
<jsp:root xmlns:jsp="http://java.sun.com/JSP/Page" version="2.1"

<af:outputText value="This is Page2"/>
</af:form>
</af:document>
</f:view>

</managed-bean>
</adfc-config>
ManagedBean.java:
public class ManagedBean {
public ManagedBean() {
super();
public void bookMarkMethod() {
System.out.println("Inside bookmark method");
Please look into this...........

Hi Frank,
I need to provide the af:commandLink inside af:table component and the values which I pass to page2 depends on the row I select at runtime.
so,I am trying to use ad:setActionListener inside af:commandLink.
If I use FacesContext.getCurrentInstance.getExternalContext.redirect() inside the actionListener of af:commandLink, I need to extract all the required values in the actionListener.
Isn't there any way so that, I can pass the values using af:setActionListener inside af:commandLink and a method ( which will initialise the managed bean) will be called when page2 loads ???

Lokesh.
