Question

I am testing the PrimeFaces example avaible at http://www.primefaces.org/showcase/ui/dialogLogin.jsf . I correctly imported PrimeFaces and JSF 2.1 in Eclipse Dyamic web project, but after filling the form when I try to do the login I get the following error:

HTTP Status 500 -

type Exception report

message

description The server encountered an internal error () that prevented it from fulfilling this request.

exception

You have a bad import, replace :

import java.awt.event.ActionEvent;

with

import javax.faces.event.ActionEvent;

Also, is that &&&& working?! Maybe you have a special compiler if it doesn’t give you error 🙂

if(username != null  &&&& username.equals("admin") && password != null  && password.equals("admin"))
