Delaying the command link action till user presses Yes/No in dialog

Question

Hi ,
On a command link in an af:table i am trying to display and Yes/No Dialog box. On clicking the link, the action binded with the link gets executed first and then the dialog gets initialized. Can we some how deffer the link execution till the user presses Yes/NO?
following is the code
=======================================================================
<af:column id="c13" headerText="Lock">
<af:commandLink
text="lockUser"
disabled="#{!bindings.lockUser.enabled}"
id="cl1"
action="#{searchBean.lockUser}"
partialSubmit="true"
partialTriggers="cl1" >
<af:showPopupBehavior popupId="::p1"
triggerType="click"/>
</af:commandLink>
</af:column>
=======================================================================
<af:popup id="p1" partialTriggers="p1">
<af:dialog id="d2" dialogListener="#{searchBean.dialogListener}"
partialTriggers="d2" title="xcx" type="okCancel"/>
</af:popup>
=======================================================================
public String lockUser() {
BindingContainer bindings = getBindings();
OperationBinding operationBinding = bindings.getOperationBinding("lockUser");
Object result = operationBinding.execute();
System.out.println("***111");
if (!operationBinding.getErrors().isEmpty()) {
return null;
searchUser();
return null;
=======================================================================
public void dialogListener(DialogEvent dialogEvent)
String ss="HHH";
System.out.println(ss);
if (dialogEvent.getOutcome().equals(DialogEvent.Outcome.ok))
lockUser();
System.out.println("SAVE your work here");
}else
System.out.println("Do Not Do Any Thing");
=======================================================================

This should be possible, if you remove the action from the af:commandLink and execute the action in the dialoglistener
    public void dialogListener(DialogEvent dialogEvent)
        Outcome lOutcome = dialogEvent.getOutcome();
        if (lOutcome.equals(Outcome.ok))
            // do the navigation
            ControllerContext ccontext = ControllerContext.getInstance();
            //set the viewId – the name of the view activity to
            //go to - to display
            String viewId = "Emp";
            ccontext.getCurrentViewPort().setViewId(viewId);
            // or execute a method....
    }Timo
