command link doesn't work in ui:repeat

Question

I have a <p:commandLink> inside a <ui:repeat> in my xhtml page, my bean scope is set to 'View'. I am using JSF2.0 with primefaces 3.4. Here is the code snippet.

<ui:repeat value="#{bean.selectedJob.conversions}" var="conversion">
    <p:commandLink styleClass="contextMenuItem"
    update=":form:outputParent" immediate="true"
    action="#{bean.method()}"
    oncomplete="$('#outputFilterContextMenu').hide();">
<h:outputText value="#{conversion.convType}: #{conversion.convNodeName}" />
</ui:repeat>

but command link doesn't invoke the back end method. I have tried it with actionListener instead of action but that doesn't work either. Any help or suggestion will be highly appreciated. Thanks

Is your backing bean called if you are not using `ui:repeat`? — partlov, Mar 11 '13 at 07:50

@partlov, yes my backing bean works well, I have a simple p:commandLink and that works well, it passes values to the backing bean and both action and action listener methods work well. — Ubaid Raja, Mar 22 '13 at 10:26
I have fixed this issue, but that is a temporary solution. But I am really looking forward to a more suitable solution of this problem. Thanks for the help :) — Ubaid Raja, Mar 22 '13 at 10:30

When the commandLink is inside <ui:repeat>, the bean, which action is called, must be SessionScoped.
