Action method never gets called

[Julien Martin]

Hello,
I have identified a problem with my app which really puzzles me:

When I specify programmatically whether a command button should be rendered, the action method never gets called whereas the button does get rendered. See below:

<h:commandButton action="#{ContractManagedBean.updateContractAction}" image="images/update.png" rendered="#{ContractManagedBean.contractForUpdate}"/>

When I specify declaratively whether the button should be rendered, the action method does get called. See below:

<h:commandButton action="#{ContractManagedBean.updateContractAction}" image="images/update.png" rendered="true"/>

What I am missing?

Thanks in advance,

Julien.

Weird, almost look like a bug.
Can you post the line as rendered in HTML in the page?
It would be interesting to see what is submitted in each button...

Do you have any validation on the fields of your form? If a validation fails, your action method will not get called.

Anyway, you nice to post the HTML code and the java class linked to it in order for anyone to help you.

You're right, maybe is a validation problem... maybe ContractManagedBean.contractForUpdate doesn't evaluate to boolean?? (just a wild guess)
