How to invoke commandLink action?

Question

Hi!
On my page i have commandLink defined like this:
<af:commandLink binding="#{regBean.cmdLink}" text="commandLink 1" action="#{regBean.startRegistration}"/>
i need to invoke its action automatically when the page is loaded (it is just "please wait" page") ... i have pagePhaseListener, my own afterPageLoad() method is invoked at right time.
System.out.println("afterPageLoad");
Object retVal = cmdLink.getAction().invoke(FacesContext.getCurrentInstance(),null);
System.out.println("afterPageLoad end- "+retVal);
But when i try invoke commandLink action from this method, it is not invoked, even debugging message after this call is not processed, no exception is thrown..
What am i doing wrong? thanks a lot for any help

import javax.swing.*;
import java.awt.*;
import java.awt.event.*;
public class Test extends JFrame {
    public Test() {
     setDefaultCloseOperation( JFrame.EXIT_ON_CLOSE );
     Container content = getContentPane();
     JButton jb = new JButton("DO NOT PRESS");
     jb.addActionListener(new ActionListener() {
         public void actionPerformed(ActionEvent ae) {
          doFirstThing();
          doSecondThing();
     content.add(jb, BorderLayout.SOUTH);
     setSize(200,200);
     show();
    private void doFirstThing() { System.out.println("I'm doin mah thing!"); }
    private void doSecondThing() { System.out.println("I wanna go first!"); }
    public static void main( String args[] ) { new Test(); }
}If you want something different from this, you are going to have to explain more.
