CommandButton code does not get executed with partialSubmit=false

Question

Following code in Jdev11g
<input type="text" value="#{myBacking.text}"/>
<af:commandButton text="Click" action="#{myBacking.doSomething}"/>
<af:commandButton text="Click" actionListener="#{myBacking.doSomethingElse}"/>
public void setText(String value)
   System.out.println("Setting value");
public String doSomething()
   System.out.println("Clicked");
    return "";
public String doSomethingElse(ActionEvent e)
   System.out.println("Clicked with event");
} I always get following output:
Setting valueI never see the output from my commandButton. It seems that my button does not executes it's code but just notifies the components to call their setters.
I notice that when i set the partialSubmit to true, de code do get executed.
Why is that and what is causing this behaviour? How can i use my own code in the buttons without setting the partialSubmit to true? I do need a complete refresh of the page and can not use the partialSubmit but when it's set to false, it ignores my code...

They are inside an af:form
<?xml version='1.0' encoding='windows-1252'?>
<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=windows-1252"/>
  <f:view>
    <af:document id="doc1">
      <af:messages id="m1"/>
      <af:form id="frm1">
           //MY buttons are here
      </af:form>
