When I create a composite component with a facet in it and place a command link within that facet, I get an error message: This link is disabled as it is not nested within a JSF form.
A commandButton does not behave in the same way, so I am inclined to this this is a bug.

This is what my browser makes of it:
Any ideas as to what I may be doing wrong or is this indeed a bug in Mojarra 2.2.7? (which came bundled with NetBeans 8.0.2)
an old thread but i think the current behaviour is a bug, because the following works, and so it should work in a composite component:
component.xhtml:
<?xml version='1.0' encoding='UTF-8' ?>
<ui:component
xmlns="http://www.w3.org/1999/xhtml"
xmlns:h="http://xmlns.jcp.org/jsf/html"
xmlns:cc="http://xmlns.jcp.org/jsf/composite"
xmlns:f="http://xmlns.jcp.org/jsf/core"
xmlns:a="http://xmlns.jcp.org/jsf/passthrough"
xmlns:ui="http://xmlns.jcp.org/jsf/facelets"
>
<cc:interface>
<cc:facet name="someFacet" required="true"/>
</cc:interface>
<cc:implementation>
<h:commandLink value="this link should not work (not in a form)"/><br/>
<h:commandLink value="this link works as expected (within form, but not in facet)"/><br/>
<cc:renderFacet name="someFacet"/>
</cc:implementation>
</ui:component>
Using it (index.xhtml):
<?xml version='1.0' encoding='UTF-8' ?>
<!DOCTYPE html PUBLIC "-//W3C//DTD XHTML 1.0 Transitional//EN" "http://www.w3.org/TR/xhtml1/DTD/xhtml1-transitional.dtd">
<html xmlns="http://www.w3.org/1999/xhtml"
xmlns:h="http://xmlns.jcp.org/jsf/html"
xmlns:mycomp="http://xmlns.jcp.org/jsf/composite/mycomp"
xmlns:f="http://xmlns.jcp.org/jsf/core">
<h:head>
</h:head>
<h:body>
<h:form>
<mycomp:component>
<f:facet name="someFacet">
<h:commandLink value="this link should work, but does not (within form, within facet)"/><br/>
<h:commandButton value="this button works as expected (within form, within facet)"/><br/>
</f:facet>
</mycomp:component>
</h:form>
</h:body>
</html>
Also the generated HTML output in both cases generates the button in the right place in the component tree (under the form). But the clientId generated for the button, differs in both cases:
In my opinion this seems to be a bug, but perhaps someone can convince me that it is not ;D
Using Mojarra 2.2.13 (Primefaces 6.x).
