CommandLink Not Firing Action

Question

Hi,
I am trying to use the commandLink to fire a action but somehow it does not fire at all !!!
I am doing just like in the commandButton, is submiting the form but the action method does not fire at all.
here is my code:
---------------- JSP ------------------------------
<h:commandLink binding="#{main.cmdDelCatDayItem}" id="cmdDelCatDayItem" action="#{main.delCatDayItem}" value="">
<h:graphicImage style="border-width: 0" value="/images/NextArrow.gif"/>
<f:param name="itemId" value="#{item.itemId}"/>
<f:param name="categoryId" value="#{cat.categoryId}"/>
</h:commandLink>
-------------- main.java ---------------------------------
private HtmlCommandLink cmdDelCatDayItem = new HtmlCommandLink();
public HtmlCommandLink getCmdDelCatDayItem() {
return cmdDelCatDayItem;
public void setCmdDelCatDayItem(HtmlCommandLink hcl) {
this.cmdDelCatDayItem = hcl;
// ACTION METHOD
public java.lang.String delCatDayItem()
try {
FacesContext fc = FacesContext.getCurrentInstance();
int cat_id = Integer.parseInt(fc.getExternalContext().getRequestParameterMap().get("categoryId").toString());
int item_id = Integer.parseInt(fc.getExternalContext().getRequestParameterMap().get("itemId").toString());
// int dated = Integer.parseInt(fc.getExternalContext().getRequestParameterMap().get("day"));
//DAL dal = new DAL();
//boolean res = dal.delCatDayItem(cat_id, item_id, dated);
return "test2";
catch ( Exception e) {
log("Delete error", e);
throw new FacesException(e);
} //delCatDayItem
Can someone help to fire this lazy commandLink ?
Tx for yor help

Well...its a bug that they are still trying to fix...I used this code and it works...try this
<h:dataTable value="#{progs.rows}" var="g" id="grid1" binding="#{mainBean.d1}">
<h:column id="c1">
<f:facet name="header"><h:outputText value="Codice" id="h1"/></f:facet>
<h:commandLink actionListener="#{mainBean.aggCampi}" action="schedaProg" id="link1">
<h:outputText value="#{g.ID}" id="c1Text" />
<h:inputHidden id="hid" value="#{g.ID}" binding="#{mainBean.UIID}" />
</h:commandLink>
</h:column>
<h:column id="c2">
<f:facet name="header"><h:outputText value="Nome" id="h2"/></f:facet>
<h:outputText value="#{g.NOME}" id="c1Text2" binding="#{mainBean.UINome}" />
</h:column>
<h:column id="c3">
<f:facet name="header"><h:outputText value="Descrizione" id="h3"/></f:facet>
<h:outputText value="#{g.DESCRIZIONE}" id="c1Text3" binding="#{mainBean.UIDesc}" />
</h:column>
<h:column id="c4">
<f:facet name="header"><h:outputText value="Riferimento" id="h4"/></f:facet>
<h:outputText value="#{g.ID_SUP}" id="c1Text4"/>
</h:column>
</h:dataTable>
I just added the tag <f:facet> before the command link to avoid the problem...
let me know...
Best regards,
Gabriele
