f:setPropertyActionListener setter not being invoked

I'm using Icefaces 1.8.2 with jsf 1.1 The setter method of target field is not invoked before the commandLink action method.

<ice:panelSeries id="deptSeries" value="#{sessionScopedBean.deptList}" var="dept">
......
 <ice:commandLink actionListener="#{myActionBean.search}">
    <f:setPropertyActionListener target="#{sessionScopedBean.searchList}" 
                                              value="#{dept.myList}"/>
    <ice:graphicImage title="search" url="/images/search.gif"/>
    <f:param name="user" value="#{userBean.name}"/>
 </ice:commandLink>
......
</ice:panelSeries>

Firstly, <setPropertyActionListener /> was introduced in JSF 1.2.

Secondly, the code actionListener="#{myActionBean.search}" represents an action listener, and not an action. Consequently, the method myActionBean.search() is called in the same phase of the JSF lifecycle as the property action listener.

Try changing the command link to look like this:

<ice:commandLink action="#{myActionBean.search}">
....
</ice:commandLink>
