Update "rendered" attribute via ajax

Question

Is there a workaround to update the "rendered" attribute of a commandLink via AJAX? I'm getting an error 'malformedXML: During update: j_idt12:prevCmd not found'.
code snippet:
<h:commandLink action="#{controller.previous}"
                                   value="Previous"
                                   rendered="#{controller.hasPreviousPage}"
                                   id="prevCmd">
     <f:ajax render="table prevCmd nextCmd" immediate="true"/>
</h:commandLink>
<h:commandLink action="#{controller.next}"
                                   value="Next"
                                   rendered="#{controller.hasNextPage}"
                                   id="nextCmd">
     <f:ajax render="table prevCmd nextCmd" immediate="true"/>
</h:commandLink>

Try adding the form name to the components names:
<f:ajax render="form1:table form1:prevCmd form1:nextCmd" immediate="true"/>
