Target Unreachable, identifier 'XXX' resolved to null - jakarta.el.PropertyNotFoundException

Question

I'm new to Java and tried to follow this tutorial. Since it's outdated, I've made some changes to use newer versions:

• Netbeans 14
• Glassfish 6
• Java EE7
• Jakarta Faces 3
• Mojarra 3.0.1

The tutorial consists of a form where a user submits a message and gets the total count. However, when I submit, I get

Any clue of what I'm missing?

Here are the Glassfish logs
