"c" must be a valid context variable available during the form submission. Thanks, I figured it was probably something like that. I'm not an expert at JSF just yet, so the different between the two isn't obvious to me. So I'm guessing that it essentially means I can't use variable parameters except in certain circumstances. If I changed it to something like: <a4j:commandLink action="#{contactManager.deleteContact(c.ID)}"/> Where ID is a Long and the primary key of the contact would it work inside a <c:forEarch> ?
