Description

This bug is very similar to: http://issues.apache.org/jira/browse/MYFACES-198, closed due to lack of interest. The solution given in that thread doesn't seem to work.

I'm working with a SVN copy of MyFaces dated on 20-Nov-05.

If I have context parameter org.apache.myfaces.ALLOW_JAVASCRIPT to false, commandLinks seem to be rendered wrong. The following code:

         <h:commandLink id="doit" action="#{bb.doIt}" immediate="true" >
               <h:outputText value="Do it!" />
         </h:commandLink>

becomes something like:

        <a .... href=id="A_VERY_LONG_URL">Do It!</a>

what leads to a "page not found" in the browser.

Setting org.apache.myfaces.ALLOW_JAVASCRIPT to "true" solves this problem, because it creates a working javascript-link, so this isn't a showstopper. However, I think this tag should work properly without javascript too.
