[SOLVED] richfaces a4j:commandButton action method not getting called

i was having problems yesterday after recoding some jsf pages--the method saveParty wasn't getting called.


listTADs.xhtml (includes the file below, listTADParties.xhtml):

...
<rich:modalPanel id="modalPanelTA" autosized="true">
...
    <a4j:outputPanel id="modalPanelTA_content">
        <h:form>
            <h:panelGroup rendered="#{tadController.panelToShow == 'viewParties'}">
                <ui:include src="/listTADParties.xhtml" />
            </h:panelGroup>
        </h:form>
    </a4j:outputPanel>
</rich:modalPanel>
...


listTADParties.xhtml:

...
<rich:modalPanel>
    <h:form>
        ...
        <a4j:commandButton action="#{tadController.saveParty}" value="save" reRender="transportAgreementPartiesTbl"
            oncomplete="if (#{facesContext.maximumSeverity==null}) #{rich:component('editPartiesPanel')}.hide();"/>
        ...
    </h:form>
</rich:modalPanel>
...





the solution was removing the parent h:form in listTADs.xhtml (the problem was the form inside the other/parent form):

...
<a4j:outputPanel id="modalPanelTA_content">
    <h:panelGroup rendered="#{tadController.panelToShow == 'viewParties'}">
        <ui:include src="/listTADParties.xhtml" />
    </h:panelGroup>
</a4j:outputPanel>...
