modifying portlet preferences on link request jsf component

Hi,

I'm modifying the value of a portlet preference on the action of a LinkRequest tag. When the link is called I get the following error:
Failed to store search preferences

java.lang.IllegalStateException: store is not allowed inside a render call
at org.apache.pluto.core.impl.PortletPreferencesImpl.store(PortletPreferencesImpl.java:386)

I modify the portlet preference and store in on each click on the request link.

I tried doing the same thing with a command button and did not get the above error. Is there a reason why a request link action will be executed in the portlet render phase and the command button is executed in the action phase?

Would anyone know how to get a link to modify a portlet preference properly?
