This discrepancy can occur when you're invoking it at the wrong moment of the JSF lifecycle or when the component is part of an iterated component like h:dataTable and the component is currently not in the iteration stage. After all, this isn't the way how the JSF stuffs ought to work. The normal approach is to bind the value to a bean property and then just access exactly that property in the action method associated with the command link/button.

Anyway, I think that the actual problem is already been solved by my answer on your other question .
