I have a JSF web application with a view-scoped bean and a session-scoped bean. I'd like to modify the session bean's members from the view bean, and I followed this guide from a certain well-known JSF guy, but I can't seem to get it to work without a runtime exception. The reference to the managed session bean, "home" is null when referenced, similar to this question except I've already followed the advice of the accepted answer.
package brian.canadaShipping;
import java.io.Serializable;
import javax.faces.bean.ManagedBean;
import javax.faces.bean.ManagedProperty;
import javax.faces.bean.ViewScoped;
@ManagedBean(name= "requestBean")
@ViewScoped
public class CpstcRequestBean implements Serializable {
@ManagedProperty(value="#{home}")
private CpstcHomeBean homeBean;
public CpstcHomeBean getHomeBean() {
return homeBean;
}
public void setHomeBean(CpstcHomeBean homeBean) {
this.homeBean = homeBean;
}
private static final long serialVersionUID = -5066913533772933899L;
public String testVar = "hello world";
private boolean displayOutput = false;
public boolean isDisplayOutput() {
return displayOutput;
}
public void setDisplayOutput(boolean displayOutput) {
this.displayOutput = displayOutput;
}
public String getTestVar() {
return testVar;
}
public void setTestVar(String testVar) {
this.testVar = testVar;
}
public CpstcRequestBean()
{
System.out.println("TEST: " + homeBean.toString());
System.out.println("Hello, ResuestBean!");
}
}
The first bit of my "home" bean is as follows:
@ManagedBean(name= "home")
@SessionScoped
public class CpstcHomeBean implements Serializable {
...
UPDATE: I've followed Jordan's suggestions and I have the following in my view-scoped bean:
@ManagedBean(name= "requestBean")
@ViewScoped
public class CpstcRequestBean implements Serializable {
@Inject @Named("home") CpstcHomeBean homeBean;
public CpstcHomeBean getHomeBean() {
return homeBean;
}
public void setHomeBean(CpstcHomeBean homeBean) {
this.homeBean = homeBean;
}
public CpstcRequestBean()
{
System.out.println("TEST: " + homeBean.toString());
System.out.println("Hello, ResuestBean!");
}
...
as well as this in my session-scoped bean:
@Named("home")
@SessionScoped
public class CpstcHomeBean implements Serializable {
...
yet my "home" bean reference is still null. Any ideas?
UPDATE 2: It turns out that you must use @Named in both classes, not just the injected class. My web app now loads but some elements are blank. In my console log, I see, "Target Unreachable, identifier 'home' resolved to null." I'm running on Tomcat 7, if that affects things. Any ideas?
