I have written a simple JSF-page which contains only one single inputText:
<%@ taglib uri="http://java.sun.com/jsf/html"; prefix="h" %>
<%@ taglib uri="http://java.sun.com/jsf/core"; prefix="f" %>
<!DOCTYPE HTML PUBLIC "-//W3C//DTD HTML 4.01 Transitional//EN">
<f:view>
<f:loadBundle
basename="ca.gc.nrc.iit.toml.frontend.bundles.RateCourse"
var="MessageBundle"/>
<html>
<head>
<link href="css/stylesheet.css" rel="stylesheet"
type="text/css"/>
<title>
<h:outputText
value="#{MessageBundle.dialogtitle}" />
</title>
</head>
<body>
<h:form id="RateCourseForm">
<h:panelGrid id="grid" columns="4">
<h:outputText
value="#{MessageBundle.dialogtitle}" />
<h:inputText id="test"
value="#{RateCourseBackingBean.evaluation}" required="true" />
<h:commandButton id="submit"
action="#{RateCourseBackingBean.submit}"
value="#{MessageBundle.submitbuttonlabel}" immediate="true" />
<h:commandButton id="cancel"
action="#{RateCourseBackingBean.cancel}"
value="#{MessageBundle.cancelbuttonlabel}" immediate="true" />
</h:panelGrid>
</h:form>
</body>
</html>
</f:view>
The Backing Bean looks like
package ca.gc.nrc.iit.toml.frontend;
//import javax.faces.model.*;
public class RateCourseBackingBean {
private String evaluation = "test";
public String submit() {
System.out.println(this.evaluation);
return "submit";
}
public String cancel() {
return "cancel";
}
public String getEvaluation() {
return evaluation;
}
public void setEvaluation(String evaluation) {
this.evaluation = evaluation;
}
}
It works so far but the System.out.println() in submit() only ever prints
"test" on the console.
And I don't know why.
Did I make a mistake in the nesting of the tags of the JSF-page?
(What is the official nesting of elements? The JSF-Spec does not seem to
state what an empty JSF-page should look like and how the elements are to be
nested.)
Do you have any idea where that mistake is?
Thanks
Matt
