I have first one from the JSF core 3rd edition and I got the error which I cannot trace.
Error below

/index.xhtml @15,55 value="#{user.name}": Target Unreachable, identifier 'user' resolved to null



Index.xhtml

You have to define the name for the UserBean in faces-config.xml file ,Then only you can use like "user.userName".

Like this:

<managed-bean>
<managed-bean-name>user</managed-bean-name>
<managed-bean-class>userBean</managed-bean-class>
<managed-bean-scope>session</managed-bean-scope>
</managed-bean>


here specifiy the beanclass with your package name if you have any thing like com. - - -.---.U serBean

try some sample applications also and see where to add the config file and all.

Welcome to the JavaRanch, Chris!

Which version of JSF are you running under?

The annotations only work under JSF2, which is still pretty new. For the JSF 1.x versions, you have to do like Siva says and define the name/bean mapping in the faces-config.xml file.

Tim,

Actually, I purchased a book with JSF 2.0 (Core JSF 3rd Edition) and tried couple examples.
The code compiles (I use Netbeans) but when I entered the values on the web page I got this error message.
I contacted the author but so far no help.

I do most of my stuff in jsp/servlet and looking into JSF framwork; but as you said JSF 2 is very new, I might looking into JSF 1.2.
There are more examples for it.

In your opinion, will a transition from JSF 1.2 to 2.0 be difficult ?

Chris

In my experience, no. Although I'm still in early stages on that.

Chris,
Use @ManagedBean(name="user") instead of @Named("user")
