I am creating a view in JSF where after executing some action with a4j:commandButton
some elements are rerendered. For example I click on a button which invokes a backing bean method such as executeProcess (this adds a process to a list), and when it finishes updates a data table (shows the available processes). The data table also has some other buttons to execute specific actions over every process, but when I press one of this the page seems to reload entirely without invoking the action, then if I press the same button again it works. What is happening?
