t:dataList causes redirect problems in JSF (java.lang.IllegalStateException)

Question

i'm trying to write simple jsf-based application, but there is a problem i cannot to solve. I need list of links on page, so i'm iterating to output them on the page using t:dataList tag from Tomahawk library.

/list.jsp

<f:view>
<h:form>
<t:dataList value="#{someBean.listOfNews}" var="news" >
<h:commandLink  value="edit" action="#{someBean.edit}">
        <f:setPropertyActionListener target="#{someBean.id}" value="#news.id}" />  
</h:commandLink>
</t:dataList>
</f:view>
</h:form>

As you can see, i have a list of "news" in my managed bean. But it isn't important. By clicking on the link i want to redirect to page /add.jsp

faces-config.xml

<navigation-rule>
    <from-view-id>/list.jsp</from-view-id>
    <navigation-case>
        <from-outcome>edit</from-outcome>
        <to-view-id>/add.jsp</to-view-id>
        <redirect></redirect>
    </navigation-case>
</navigation-rule>

But i get this exception instead:

java.lang.IllegalStateException

But if i try to not use this tag, such as

<f:view>
<h:form>
<h:commandLink  value="edit" action="#{someBean.edit}">
        <f:setPropertyActionListener target="#{someBean.id}" value="1" />  
</h:commandLink><br>
<h:commandLink  value="edit" action="#{someBean.edit}">
        <f:setPropertyActionListener target="#{someBean.id}" value="2" />  
</h:commandLink>
</h:form>
</f:view>

it works fine. if i don't use tag in navigation-rule it's also works fine. Can anybody explain this incompatibility t:dataList and redirect?

The problem was i used bad version of tomahawk.jar. Now i'm using tomahawk20-1.1.10.jar and it works just fine.
