What Mathias is saying is that you have to maintain the model during
the Restore View phase for the next page. Without a model, your
command link is effectively set to rendered=false, and no action event
will be generated. I've never tested to see if it matters what model
is available on the next page, but I'd expect it'd have to be the same
model in order for you to determine which row was clicked, if that is
important to you.
