Closed 3 years ago.
I am just testing out this JSF page, so I don't set the action attribute in the <h:commandButton/>. This is a very simple form with 3 input boxes for First Name, Last Name, and Email, and one button called Save. Every time I click that button, I receive this error
javax.el.PropertyNotFoundException: /index.xhtml @19,106 value="#{person.firstName}": Target Unreachable, identifier 'person' resolved to null
but if I annotate my JavaBean @ManagedBean, then the form go through just fine, but every time I switch back to using @Named Bean, I receive that error again. I have tried some of the suggestions I found on this site such as restarting the server, checking the presence of the getters, but those did not help.

This is my JavaBean class
import javax.annotation.PostConstruct;
import javax.faces.bean.RequestScoped;
import javax.inject.Named;
@Named
@RequestScoped
public class Person {
private String firstName = "empty";
private String lastName = "empty";
private String email = "empty";
public void Person() {}
public String getFirstName() {
return firstName;
}
public void setFirstName(String firstName) {
this.firstName = firstName;
}
public String getLastName() {
return lastName;
}
public void setLastName(String lastName) {
this.lastName = lastName;
}
public String getEmail() {
return email;
}
public void setEmail(String email) {
this.email = email;
}
}
