Description:
A link that invokes a server-side action using an asynchronous request when the user clicks the link. This control must be contained by a standard JavaServer Faces form.

You can download an article and an accompanying code sample describing how to work with the refresh attribute of this control from the Software AG Community website:
- Article: Refreshing Multiple Controls with Async Command Controls in CAF
- Code sample: multi_refresh_sample.zip
Children
Any. Children are displayed as a link label after the content of the value attribute. Control Parameter children are added as request parameters to the submitted form when the link is clicked.
