Take input from <h:inputText> in rich <modalPanel>

Hello Sir!

I am trying to take input value from an input box placed in Modal Panel. the input text should update password property in bin.java, but I am getting NULL value, when getPassword() is called. Here is the code for Modal Panel:

<body>
	<f:view>
		<h:form id="f1">	
		
			<rich:modalPanel id ="pwd" width="300" height="200">
				<f:facet name="header">
					<h:panelGroup>
						<h:outputText value="Password" />
					</h:panelGroup>					
				</f:facet>
				<f:facet name="controls">
					<h:panelGroup>
						<h:graphicImage value="/WebContent/pic/close1.jpeg" id="hidelink" width="15" height="15"/>
						<rich:componentControl for="pwd" attachTo="hidelink" operation="hide" event="onclick"/>
					</h:panelGroup>
				</f:facet>
				
				<h:outputText value="Enter password: " />
				<br/>
				<h:inputText  id="p"  value="#{bin.password}" required="true">
					
				</h:inputText>
				<br/>
				<h:commandButton value="login" >
					<a4j:support event="onclick" action="#{bin.loginchk}"></a4j:support>					
				</h:commandButton>
						
			</rich:modalPanel>
			<h:panelGrid columns="2">
				
				
				<h:outputText value="Enter User ID" />
				<h:inputText value="#{bin.id }"  id="id">
					<rich:componentControl for="pwd" attachTo="id" operation="show" event="onclick"/>
				</h:inputText>
			
			
				
			
			</h:panelGrid>
			
		</h:form>
	</f:view>
</body>

How to solve the problem? I am new in JSF.

HI!,

Is "bin" declared properly as a managed bean in faces-config.xml?

More info about your error could be helpful!

Yes bin is declared properly as a managed bean. ::
<managed-bean>
<managed-bean-name>bin</managed-bean-name>
<managed-bean-class>p1.bin</managed-bean-class>
<managed-bean-scope>session</managed-bean-scope>
</managed-bean>
