h:commandLink issue

[Harshad Khasnis]

Hi Ranchers,
I am facing on issue when using h:commandLink with my Login page.

<h:form>
......
<td class="login-lbl login-lbl-pad"  align="left">
    <h:outputText id="outputTextUserNameId" value="#{bundle.userName}" styleClass="login-lbl login-lbl-pad">
      </h:outputText>
</td>
 <td class="login-lbl-pad" align="left">
 <h:panelGroup>
<h:inputText id="inputTextUserNameId" value="#{authenticateAction.userName}" styleClass="login-lbl login-lbl-pad" size="15" required="true">
</h:inputText>
<h:message for="inputTextUserNameId" styleClass="errorStyle" />
</h:panelGroup>
</td>
</tr>
 <tr>
<td class="login-lbl" align="left">
<h:outputText id="outputTextPasswordId" value="#{bundle.password}" styleClass="login-lbl">
</h:outputText>            
</td>
<td class="login-lbl-pad" align="left">
       <h:panelGroup>
      <h:inputSecret id="inputSecretPasswordId" value="#{authenticateAction.password}" styleClass="login-lbl login-lbl-pad" redisplay="false" size="15" required="true">
      </h:inputSecret>
       <h:message for="inputSecretPasswordId" styleClass="errorStyle" />
       </h:panelGroup>
</td>
</tr>
<tr>
         <td> </td>
         <td align="left">                        
            <h:commandButton id="commandButtonLoginId" action="#{authenticateAction.authenticate}" styleClass="frm-btn" value="#{bundle.login}" />            
          </td>
......
</h:form>

And my faces-config file

<faces-config>
.....
<!-- Naviagion rule for userLogin.jsp  -->
<navigation-rule>
<from-view-id>/jsp/userLogin.jsp</from-view-id>
   <navigation-case>
              <from-outcome>success</from-outcome>
         <to-view-id>/jsp/userHome/userHome.jsp</to-view-id>    </navigation-case>
 
    <navigation-case>
<from-outcome>failure</from-outcome>
<to-view-id>/jsp/userLogin.jsp</to-view-id>
         </navigation-case>
</navigation-rule>
.....
</faces-config>
 

The above code is working just fine, but If I change the <h:commandButton> to <h:commandLink> then the action method is not getting invoked.

I am not able to figure out what actually The problem is, can Anybody please help?

Thanks

Which JSF implementation/version are you using?
Any JS errors from the browser when clicking the link?
