Sorry, but this is by design -- per UI guidelines. When there are many
rows in a table, the top and bottom action bars help ensure the user
does not have to scroll up in the page in order to choose a table
action. Therefore, the top and bottom action facets are intended to
display the same controls. Unfortunately, we are forced to provide two
JSF facets so each control can have a unique HTML element ID. That said,
when there are zero or one table rows, displaying both action bars is
not necessary -- it makes the table look too busy.
