When invoking your method, "link" will be evaluated against the current contextual state, not the transient value that it was assigned during the rendering of your page. An alternative is to instead use a request param (or a page param) and write your link like this: <s:link action="#{userManage.loadSelectedPage}" value="#{link}"> | <f:param name="page" value="#{link}"/> | </s:link> View the original post : http://www.jboss.com/index.html?module=bb&op=viewtopic&p=4127368#...
