Tutorial issue - name doesnt appear on welcome.jsp [message #475330]

Hi after my last posting I hesitated but here I am again.

Ok I've finished the tutorial and found it very easy to follow - excellent
stuff.

Just one thing. When I run it and enter a user name and user password this
does not appear on the welcome.sjp an indicated by the tutorial.

I ran in debug mode and the setter for userName is never called. Thus I
guess the variable is never set.

Any clues?

Here is the faces-config.xml and login.,jsp

Hi Stu,

You did not post your welcome.jsp page for inspection. Do you navigate to
the welcome page? What is being displayed?

I am glad that you found the tutorial useful.

Thanks for the reponse.

Yes I did the navigation by adding the two pages then drawing a link between
them as described.

The pages is displaying "welcome! " and a blank/empty userName after that.

Could we see the contents of this welcome JSP, please, just to rule out
anything obvious?

Thanks,

Also, try placing the h:panelGrid inside the h:form. The tool has an
issue here where sometimes it adds h:form's in bad places. I believe the
inputText with the name and password in it must be inside the form so the
data gets received on the postback.

Well done, that was it.
My weak HTML skills didnt help there.

Seems a shame that doesnt get picked up or a warning displayed.

I brought up this issue here a while ago [1]. I suggest you open a bug
for validation framework.
