primefaces - p:commandButton ajax not called inside p:dataList - even when its wrapped in p:column -

i having same problems post: p:commandbutton ajax not called inside p:datalist

where p:commandbutton's action / actionlistener not being called when placed in p:datalist.

i followed advice , wrapped p:commandbutton in p:column, , testing followed code here: primefaces p:commandbutton action not called

..to test both action , actionlistener attempts @ sending ajax call backing bean.

both called when placed outside p:datalist .. never when inside it.

here's backing bean:

@managedbean @sessionscoped public class fullscreendashboardbean implements serializable { ...    public string testbuttonaction() {         log.info("testbuttonaction invoked");         return "";     }      public void testbuttonactionlistener(actionevent event) {         log.info("testbuttonactionlistener invoked");     } ... } 

/////////////////

// xhtml code: ...

<div class="left_content">   <h:form id="leftcontentform">       <p:datalist value="#{clienttargeturlsbean.clientandturllist}" var ="selectedclients" id="selectedclientlisttest"  paginator="false" type="none">       <p:column>                <p:commandbutton action="#{fullscreendashboardbean.testbuttonaction}"/>      <p:commandbutton actionlistener="#{fullscreendashboardbean.testbuttonactionlistener}"/>     </p:column>     </p:datalist> ...   </h:form> </div> 

they both fire backing bean's listeners when outside datalist, not when placed inside....

any ideas - massively appreciated...

thank stackoverflow-ers!
