hi all,

i tried to develope a news site in jsf where one can edit, add and remove news items. it's already working so far except the part with the editing.
When i click the commandlink for editing nothing happens. When i implement a work around to get the textarea loaded, also the update action listener doesn't get called. curiously the actionlistener methods for adding and removing work fine.

I suppose it has something to do with an illegal jsf structure, but i don't know how to do better.
I would appreciate if someone can help me..

here is the relevant code:
faces-config.xml
