<h: commandLink> action not working after upgrading to MyFaces 2.1.9

Our team is updating the web app from Myfaces-1.1.5 to Myfaces-2.1.9 and from Tomahawk-1.1.3 to Tomahawk-1.1.14. Before this update we used ajax4jsf-1.0.6, after update we use richfaces-impl-jsf2-3.3.4. The problem is that we cannot display the next page using the following h: commandLink (with action as outboundProfileForm) in the .xhtml file. When we click on this Link command, instead of the next page, the current page is displayed again. No exceptions in the logs. Could you please give us some advice or some directions on how to move forward. Thank you very much in advance.

    <h:column>
            <f:facet name="header">
                <h:panelGroup>
                    <h:commandLink action="#{outboundProfileList.sortTable}"
                        value="#{text['outboundProfileLabel.name']}">
                        <f:param name="sortColumn" value="name" />
                    </h:commandLink>
                    <h:graphicImage value="#{outboundProfileList.model.sortAscending ? '/images/arrowUp.GIF' : '/images/arrowDown.GIF'}"
                            rendered="#{outboundProfileList.model.sortColumn=='name'}" />
                </h:panelGroup>
            </f:facet>
            <h:commandLink action="#{outboundProfileForm.edit}"
                value="#{outboundProfile.name}">
                <f:param name="passedId" value="#{outboundProfile.id}" />
                <f:param name="from" value="list" />
            </h:commandLink>
        </h:column>
