Someone kindly clued me into this project: http://facestrace.sourceforge.net/
and it is a great time saver for MyFaces newbies. Please take a look.

The problem I am trying to debug is that the commandButton does not seem to be firing. the page is: <%@ taglib uri="http://java.sun.com/jsf/html" prefix="h" %> <%@ taglib uri="http://java.sun.com/jsf/core" prefix="f"%> <%@ taglib uri="http://myfaces.apache.org/tomahawk" prefix="t" %> <body> <f:view> <t:jscookMenu layout="hbr" theme="ThemeOffice"> <t:navigationMenuItem id="nav_1" itemLabel="ok" action="#{loginBacking.send}" /> <t:navigationMenuItem id="nav_2" itemLabel="fail" action="#{loginBacking.send}" /> </t:jscookMenu> <h:form id="form"> <h:panelGrid id="grid" columns="2"> <h:outputText id="output1" value="Please enter your name"/> <h:inputText id="input1" value="#{loginBacking.name}" required="true"/> <h:commandButton id="button1" value="press me" action="gonefishing"/> <h:commandButton id="button2" value="Fail me" action="#{loginBacking.fail}"/> <h:message id="message1" for="input1"/> </h:panelGrid> </h:form> <h:messages showDetail="true" globalOnly="false" showSummary="true" /> </f:view> </body> clicking on any of the buttons does nothing but re-display the helloWorld page that I start with. The validation event (required=true on the input1 field) works fine. Any suggestions on how to debug this is greatly appreciated. I am using a 1.1.4 myfaces snapshot and 1.1.3 Tomahawk snapshot. These were pulled down to get past the dummy menu form problem. I appreciate any guidance or suggestions. Thank you.
