Help. commandButton does not invoke Bean's method.

[Sergey Kargopolov]

my commandButton does not work�

Please advise me what am I doing wrong? My command button does not invoke method in Bean. System.out.println() would not print message in submit() method.

In jsp page:

<%@taglib prefix="f" uri="http://java.sun.com/jsf/core"%>
<%@taglib prefix="h" uri="http://java.sun.com/jsf/html"%>

<h:commandButton action="#{ServicesBackingBean.submit}" value="#{bundle.addNewlySoldServiceButtonValue}" id="submit"/>

In faces-config.xml:

<faces-config>
<managed-bean>
<managed-bean-name>ServicesBackingBean</managed-bean-name>
<managed-bean-class>
com.softlets.projects.travelcards.beans.ServicesBackingBean
</managed-bean-class>
<managed-bean-scope>session</managed-bean-scope>
</managed-bean>

<navigation-rule>
<navigation-case>
<from-outcome>success</from-outcome>
<to-view-id>/in.jsp</to-view-id>
</navigation-case>
</navigation-rule>
</faces-config>



In ServicesBackingBean.java:

�
Setters and getters
�.

public String submit()
{
System.out.println(" ************ I am here in submit() method ********* ");
return �success�;
}

My Netbeans gives me some messages. Maybe it might help you to get an ideas.

When added an id to HTML Form tag and JSF message for form id I started getting some messages in Netbeans.

Here are my HTML FORM details:

<form id="submitForm">
.
.
.
<td><h:inputText value="#{ServicesBean.serviceName}" id="serviceName" size="50"/></td>
.
.
.
<h:commandButton action="#{ServicesBean.addService}" value="#{bundle.addNewlySoldServiceButtonValue}" id="submitButton"/>
</form>

<h:message for="submitForm"/>

Here are NetBeans Messages:

WARNING: Unable to find component with ID 'submitForm' in view.

Thank you.

I was able to fix the problem with invoking Bean's method.

I should have used <h:form> instead of <form> tag. This was the problem.
