commanLink don't work in p:dataTable - datatable

Question

I have a problem with a h:commandLink placed in a column in p:dataTable. The action method is not called. I'm using primefaces 2.21 and jsf 2.0.
the code like this:
<ui:define name="center">
<h:form id="form1">
<p:dataTable id="userDataTable"
value="#{adminstratorBean.periodicalUsers}" var="user"
paginator="true" rows="10"
paginatorTemplate="{CurrentPageReport} {FirstPageLink} {PreviousPageLink} {PageLinks} {NextPageLink} {LastPageLink} {RowsPerPageDropdown}"
rowsPerPageTemplate="5,10,15">
<f:facet name="header">
Ajax Pagination
</f:facet>
<p:column>
<f:facet name="header">
<h:outputText value="Id" />
</f:facet>
<h:outputText value="#{user.id}"></h:outputText>
</p:column>
<p:column>
<f:facet name="header">
<h:outputText value="Name" />
</f:facet>
<h:outputText value="#{user.name}"></h:outputText>
</p:column>
<p:column>
<f:facet name="header">
<h:outputText value="Password" />
</f:facet>
<h:outputText value="#{user.password}"></h:outputText>
</p:column>
<p:column>
<f:facet name="header">
<h:outputText value="Sex" />
</f:facet>
<h:outputText value="#{user.sex}"></h:outputText>
</p:column>
<p:column>
<f:facet name="header">
<h:outputText value="Email" />
</f:facet>
<h:outputText value="#{user.mail}"></h:outputText>

<h:outputText value="#{user.phone}"></h:outputText>
</p:column>
<p:column>
<f:facet name="header">
<h:outputText value="Birthday" />
</f:facet>
<h:outputText value="#{user.birthday}">

</h:outputText>
</p:column>
<p:column>
<f:facet name="header">
<h:outputText value="Delete" />
</f:facet>

System.out.println(selectedUser.getName());
adminstratorEJB.deletePeriodicalUser(selectedUser.getId());
return null;
}

Answer 1

Use action instead of actionListener:
<h:commandLink value="#{msgs.delete}"
action="#{adminstratorBean.deleteUser(user)}">
</h:commandLink>
The actionListener can't be invoked with an argument and is intended to use before business logic gets executed (in your action method).

Answer 2

you should use
< p:commandLink>
instead of
< h:commandLink>
when inside
< p:dataTable>.
