Rich:DataTable sorting breaks when row contains h:commandLink

I have a rich:dataTable with sorting. Each row in the table has a h:commandlink through to another page. This works fine in all non webkit browsers.

When sorting by clicking the header the contents of the table is cleared and the following error is displayed in the Chrome JavaScript console: 

Uncaught Error: NOT_SUPPORTED_ERR: DOM Exception 9

This appears to be a known issue (https://issues.jboss.org/browse/RF-6096) but without any solution.

Solution

  • I have found that using:

    <a4j:commandLink ... />

    instead of

    <h:commandlink .../>

    Resolves all issues with the table sorting.
