JSF Portlet Navigation not Working with Hyperlinks
[nobr]Hello,
I am developing a multi-page portlet with JSF in Java Studio Creator... After much mucking around they deploy to liferay and everything is great.
EXCEPT:
When I try to use JSF navigation via hyperlinks it does not work. Buttons work (or invoke the proper application phase, anyway) but Hyperlinks (command links) do not. I've tried using dynamically generated ones and static ones, no dice.
Any ideas? I have relevant code samples below:
Thanks,
JLS
