RichFaces 3.1.6 on OC4J 10.1.3
Hello,
I've been been trying to develop a simple application using RichFaces on the OC4J 10.1.3, but I'm having some problems. I've been trying to get this going for 3 days now, but no luck yet.
Since I'm using OC4J 10.1.3 and this server does not support JSF 1.2 yet, I've had to resort to RichFaces 3.1.6. However, I can't get a simple form going. The page does seem to display correctly, but whenever I click my submit button, the page just seems to redirect to itself, not even entering the action of the backing bean. Really frustrating, because I can't seem to locate the source of the problem.
This is my login page:
<%@ page contentType="text/html"%>
<%@ taglib uri="http://richfaces.org/a4j" prefix="a4j"%>
<%@ taglib uri="http://richfaces.org/rich" prefix="rich"%>
<%@ taglib uri="http://java.sun.com/jsp/jstl/core" prefix="c"%>
<%@ taglib uri="http://java.sun.com/jsf/html" prefix="h"%>
<%@ taglib uri="http://java.sun.com/jsf/core" prefix="f"%>
<f:view>
<html>
<head>
<link rel="stylesheet" href="resources/tmm.css" type="text/css" >
<title>Login</title>
</head>
<body>
<rich:panel id="Content_Panel" >
<f:facet name="header">
<h:outputText id="Out_Login" value="Please login"/>
</f:facet>
<h:form>
<h:panelGrid id="Content_Grid" columns="2">
<h:outputText value="User name:" />
<h:inputText id="username" value="#{tmSession.username}"/>
<h:outputText value="User password:"/>
<h:inputSecret id="psswd" value="#{tmSession.psswd}"/>
<h:commandButton value="Login" action="#{tmSession.logIn}"/>
</h:panelGrid>
</h:form>
</rich:panel>
</body>
</html>
</f:view>
The backing bean:
package com.xplanation.tm.client.web.maintenance.bean;
public class TmSessionBean {
private String username;
private String psswd;
private boolean loggedIn;
public TmSessionBean() {
System.out.println("CREATED TM SESSION");
}
public String getUsername() {
System.out.println("GET username");
return username;
}
public void setUsername(String username) {
System.out.println("SET username: " + username);
this.username = username;
}
public String getPsswd() {
System.out.println("GET psswd");
return psswd;
}
public void setPsswd(String psswd) {
System.out.println("SET psswd: " + psswd);
this.psswd = psswd;
}
public boolean isLoggedIn() {
return loggedIn;
}
public String logIn() {
System.out.println("LOG IN");
loggedIn = true;
return "loginSuccess";
}
}
When the page loads, it prints:
CREATED TM SESSION
GET username
GET psswd
When I click the login button, it just prints the two GETs again while I get redirected to my login page!

Please, if anyone has any idea with might be the problem...
I've searched the net but I have not found anyone with a similar problem. According to the documentation of RichFaces 3.1.6, it is supposed to work on OC4J, but I cannot get it to.
Any help would be VERY much appreciated. Thanks!
Best regards,
Stijn
