Not able to use action attribute in JSF graphicImage

[Vikas Taank]

Hi,
I am using the following code to display graphic image.
<h:graphicImage id="fiPricePendingToolRefreshImage"
value="/images/refresh.jpg">
<rich:toolTip for="fiPricePendingToolRefreshImage"
followMouse="true" direction="top-right" showDelay="200"
styleClass="tooltip">
<span style="white-space: nowrap">Refresh</span>
</rich:toolTip>
</h:graphicImage>

Graphic Image does not have attribute like "action". So I am enclosing this image in the <a4j:commandLink> like this:
<a4j:commandLink id="Refresh"
action="#{fiPriceController.downloadFile}">
<h:graphicImage id="fiPricePendingToolRefreshImage"value="/image/refresh.jpg"><rich:toolTip for="fiPricePendingToolRefreshImage"
followMouse="true" direction="top-right" showDelay="200"
styleClass="tooltip">
<span style="white-space: nowrap">Refresh</span>
</rich:toolTip>
</h:graphicImage>
</a4j:commandLink>

But in the above case my action method is not getting invoked.
If I use command button to invoke the same action method. It's working fine and I am able to download the file.
<h:commandButton id="export"
action="#{fiPriceController.downloadFile}">
</h:commandButton>

has anybody ever used the <h:graphicImage> to invoke the action method and how it has been done. Please reply as it is very critical to my project.
Thanks in advance.

Well I am not sure about a4jCommandLink but i tried the same case with <h:commandLink> and found that it is working.

For your understanding I am providing the code too. Hope this will help you.
