Help: commandLink does not work.

Question

commandLink does not work. It just simple refreshes the page, and not enter the Listener,( he listener work pretty well in other page).
Is it dataTable problem? If I not use dataTable but just use JSTL & JSF commandLink and it works fine.

Hi,
I was casually reading your code and noticed the line:'
<h:commandLink action="#{Action.action}" styleClass="link">
I recall from other posts that if you want the method on the bean (of the clicked/ selected row) to be called, you probably need:
<h:commandLink action="#{attribute.action}" styleClass="link">
Ofcourse you would need to have a method called action in the class of instance "attribute". This method should return string for navigation etc.
Looking at your code again:
<h:commandLink action="#{Action.action}" styleClass="link">
<f:actionListener type="my.AttributeListener"/>
<h:outputText value="Delete"/>
<f:param name="ID" value="#{attribute.attributeId}"/>
<f:attribute name="COMMAND" value="deleteAttribute"/>
</h:commandLink>
I don't understand why you need:
<f:actionListener type="my.AttributeListener"/>
As I am not coding a lot of JSF I am only answering from what I have read.
All the best,
