h:commandLink issue

[Richard Roszak]

I'm having an issue it opening a popup using h:commandLink. The first time I clink on the commandLink the browser creates the popup goes out to the server to my MyBean.generatePdf method and creates the pdf in the popup. If I don't manually close the popup and click on the link again the main browser gets replicated in the popup.


Here is the jsp code:

<h:commandLink action="#{MyBean.generatePdf}" target="#{MyBean.generate}"" title="Pdf" value="Pdf File" styleClass="shortcut_pdf"
            	  onclick="popWindow('', 'Generate','350','250','yes');cancelPropagation(event);">
            	</h:commandLink>

I followed it in debugger on server and I see the first time it directly goes into my MyBean.generatePdf method but the second click only takes me into the getter for MyBean.generate and just returns.

Another thing I found is that if I try a third click it works correctly as it did the first time. Why wouldn't it see the action correctly the second time in?

Thanks,
