JSF commandButton action not executed

Question

I am getting ready for my exam in enterprise application development. We should build simple travel agency application with spring boot, using JSF for building frontend.

I am trying to make a user book a trip (from page details.jsf). But when I click on commandButton, that should make a purchase, action on button is not executed (I know this since I ran it in debug mode and it doesn't stop at break point).

Part of code I am talking about is:

<c:if test="#{travelController.isNotPurchased(trip.id,userInfoController.userName)}">
    <h:form prependId="false" id="bookingForm">
        <h:commandButton value="Book the trip"
                         action="#{travelController.makePurchase(trip.id,userInfoController.userName)}"
                         id="bookingBtn"/>
    </h:form>
</c:if>

Point 6 of abovelinked duplicate is applicable here. By the way, next time try creating a real [mcve] as per instructions in https://stackoverflow.com/tags/jsf/info. This one has way too much noise. — BalusC, Apr 20 '20 at 18:20
