Navigation in JSF

Question

Good morning! I am novice. I have a simple JSF application. But it does not work as expected. This is my login.xhtml:

<h:body>
    <h:outputText value="Please enter your login and password"/>
    <h:form id="loginForm">
        <h:panelGrid columns="2">       
                <h:outputText value="User name"/>                   
                <h:inputText value="#{textBean.login}" required="true"/>
                <h:outputText value="Password"/>
                <h:inputSecret value="#{textBean.password}" required="true"/>
                <h:commandButton value="Submit" action="#{textBean.doLogin}"/>
        </h:panelGrid> 
    </h:form>
</h:body>

This is my error.xhtml:

<h:body>
    <h:outputText value="You have entered incorrect data"/>
    <h:form id="errorForm">    
                <h:commandLink value="Back to login page" action="#{TextBean.backToLogin}"/>
    </h:form>
</h:body>

This is my bean class TextBean.java:

public class TextBean implements Serializable {

private static final long serialVersionUID = 1L;

private String login;

private String password;

public String getLogin() {
    return login;
}

public void setLogin(String login) {
    this.login = login;
}

public String getPassword() {
    return password;
}

public void setPassword(String password) {
    this.password = password;
}

public String doLogin() {
    if ("admin".equals(login) && "mypass".equals(password)) {
        return "welcome";
    } else {
        return "error";
    }

}

public String backToLogin() {
        return "login";
}

}

Why the error page does not go back to the login page? When you click on the link "Back to login page" I get the exception. What am I doing wrong? This is my exception:

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

    javax.faces.webapp.FacesServlet.service(FacesServlet.java:508)

Help me please, dear friends! Any help would be greatly appreciated.

Answer 1

The name of your bean is textBean not TextBean. That is why JSF can't resolve it: identifier 'TextBean' resolved to null
