CommandLink and navigation

Question

Hi, I built a dataTable and put two columns each one with one commandLink with action param. The action methods were not the same and each returned a string. The navigation simply did not executed what I was hoping sometimes openning the first, or the second page configured in the faces-config.
I changed to commandButton and everything worked fine as expected.

Hi,
Here we go.
The jsf page had
<h:dataTable width="650" border="0" cellpadding="0" cellspacing="2"
rowClasses="list-row-odd,list-row-even"
id="table"
value="#{sapFormBean.listAP}"
var="sap">
<h:column>
<f:facet name="header">
<h:outputText value=""/>
</f:facet>
<h:commandLink id="imprimeAP"
action="#{sapFormBean.submitImprimeAPAction}"
alt="Imprime esta AP">
<h:graphicImage id="copy" url="bullets/print.gif"/>
</h:commandLink>
</h:column>
<h:column>
<f:facet name="header">
<h:outputText value=""/>
</f:facet>
<h:commandLink id="copiaAP"
action="#{sapFormBean.submitCopiaAPAction}"
alt="Gera nova AP a partir desta" >
<h:graphicImage id="copy" url="bullets/copy.gif"/>
</h:commandLink>
</h:column>
<h:column>
<f:facet name="header">
<h:outputText styleClass="celTitulo" value="C�DIGO"/>
</f:facet>
<h:outputText id="codigo" value="#{sap.sap_codigo}"/>
</h:column>
</h:dataTable>
I configured the actions to return the strings "imprimir" and "copiar". In the faces-config I put
<navigation-rule>
     <from-view-id>/lista_default.jsp</from-view-id>
     <navigation-case>
          <from-outcome>imprimir</from-outcome>
          <to-view-id>/imprimir.jsf</to-view-id>
     </navigation-case>
     <navigation-case>
          <from-outcome>copiar</from-outcome>
          <to-view-id>/formulario.jsf</to-view-id>
     </navigation-case>
</navigation-rule>
I changed then the commandLink to
<h:commandButton id="imprimeAP"
action="#{sapFormBean.submitImprimeAPAction}"
image="bullets/imprimir.gif"
alt="Imprime esta AP"/>
<h:commandButton id="copiaAP"
action="#{sapFormBean.submitCopiaAPAction}"
image="bullets/copiar.gif"
alt="Gera nova AP a partir desta" />
Thanks...
