I have a commandButton in JSF 2.0 with a actionvalue that I want to call a method in a bean and otherwise do nothing. However when I click on it, it redirects to the previous page.
This was programmed in java 1.7 in eclipse using glassfish 3.1.1.
Here is the code for the welcome.xhtml file where the commandButton is (showDetails) but there are many other files, so I have included a link to a WAR file so it is possible to check everything out. If i change the action attribute to point to a method that does not exist I will not get an error, I will again be redirected to the frontpage.
The program is started from the index.html file. After importing remember to leftclick on the project, go to properties>project facets and tick of JavaServerFaces 2.0
The relevant code:
welcome.xhtml
<?xml version="1.0" encoding="ISO-8859-1" ?>

userBean
package model;
import java.io.Serializable;
import javax.enterprise.context.SessionScoped;
import javax.inject.Inject;
import javax.inject.Named;
@Named("userBean")
// or @ManagedBean(name="user")
@SessionScoped
public class UserBean implements Serializable {
// Oprettes når en bean oprettes
private User user = new User("", "");
@Inject
// Det nuværende service objekt initialiseres automatisk
private Service service;
public String validateUser() {
return service.validateUser(user);
}
public User getUser() {
return user;
}
public void setUser(User user) {
this.user = user;
}
//Lektion 10 - opg1
private boolean renderDetails;
public void changeRenderDetails(){
setRenderDetails(!isRenderDetails());
}
public boolean isRenderDetails() {
return renderDetails;
}
public void setRenderDetails(boolean renderDetails) {
this.renderDetails = renderDetails;
}
}
and the user class
package model;
public class User {
private String name;
private String password;
public User(String name, String password) {
super();
this.name = name;
this.password = password;
}
public String getName() {
return name;
}
public void setName(String name) {
this.name = name;
}
public String getPassword() {
return password;
}
public void setPassword(String password) {
this.password = password;
}
}
navigation rules, none of which should have anything to do with the button which redirects to index.html:
<?xml version="1.0" encoding="UTF-8"?>
<faces-config
xmlns="http://java.sun.com/xml/ns/javaee"
xmlns:xsi="http://www.w3.org/2001/XMLSchema-instance"
xsi:schemaLocation="http://java.sun.com/xml/ns/javaee http://java.sun.com/xml/ns/javaee /web-facesconfig_2_0.xsd"
version="2.0">
<navigation-rule>
<from-view-id>/index.xhtml</from-view-id>
<navigation-case>
<from-outcome>success</from-outcome>
<to-view-id>/welcome.xhtml</to-view-id>

<navigation-case>
<from-outcome>failure</from-outcome>

</navigation-case>
</navigation-rule>
</faces-config>
As shown in every decent JSF book/tutorial, you should be using
<h:form>instead of<form>.See also
