Put this components in context of your problem, and show us your code. — partlov, Feb 17 '13 at 16:24
OK, can you put some main things from template. I don't se `h:form` here. Also is this in some dialog? Did you try JavaScript and NET debugging with Firebug on first click? — partlov, Feb 17 '13 at 16:49
You don't have any more forms in MasterTemplate.xhtml? Possible nested forms? Also, why don't you updating anything on first and second command buttons? — partlov, Feb 17 '13 at 17:20
I have one more Nested template... and update="addMoreTrans" is for updating datalist so it will add one more element in list — Subodh Joshi, Feb 17 '13 at 17:25
I see you main `xhtml` page is not inside ``.May be this helps you.http://stackoverflow.com/questions/2118656/hcommandlink-hcommandbutton-is-not-being-invoked — SRy, Feb 18 '13 at 05:12
Post an SSCCE, please. There's too much code noise here and you aren't clearly showing/describing the path to the problem. — BalusC, Feb 18 '13 at 12:03
@BalusC i added code becuase some other developer want to see the code..And my issue is i have to double click on button and link to process a request? — Subodh Joshi, Feb 18 '13 at 12:24
You should post code in SSCCE flavor and not blindly copypaste code dumps. An SSCCE is the **smallest possible but complete, compilable and executable** code snippet which anyone (including yourself!) should be able to copy'n'paste'n'run into a completely blank environment with everything set to default (unless explicitly otherwise specified) in order to successfully reproduce the concrete problem. — BalusC, Feb 18 '13 at 12:40

Basically this is not weired issue On first click jsf first looks whether there is (javax.faces.ViewState) state available or not and if it is not available then it creates one for you & when you click second time because of Jsf state available it makes call to bean method. Solution : try creating jsf state through the javascript function
