Question

i am coding a register-form in jsf:

in the *.xhtml file:

   <h:outputLabel class="Float" for="password" value="Passwort"/>
   <h:inputText id="password" rendered="true" value="#{Register.password}" label="Passwort">
   <f:validateLength minimum="3" maximum="8"/>
  </h:inputText>
 </fieldset>
</h:form>

in the bean:

public String getPassword() {
    return password;
}

public void setPassword(String pwd) {
    this.password = pwd;
}

I set a breakpoint and noticed that my setter are not reached?

why?

Answer 1

I noticed you have immediate="true" on your commandButton. This seems like a probable cause why your model is not being updated.

This blog entry seems to describe a similar, if not the same, problem. Now, there are some workarounds for this, either you can get the submitted value directly from the component by using the bind attribute, or you can use immediate="true" on the input components as well, but I think the best solution would be not to use immediate on your submit button unless you really need it.
