Server 500 error after modifying the JSF portlet tutorial

[ivan.indrawan]

I am learning to develop JSF based portlet.

I took the JSF tutorial template for a ground of my application. First thing as usual, I develop the login menu.

I have managed to show the portlet in the window. But when clicking the login button, it generates HTTP500 error with thousands of error. I simplify the functions and come up with the following

This is a function of the Phoenix class (alias userbean)
public class Phoenix {

private String username_;
private String password_;
...
public String verify()
{
if (this.username_.equalsIgnoreCase(this.password_))
return "false";
else
return "verified";

}
..}

and this is the faces-config.xml :


<managed-bean>
PhoenixBean
<managed-bean-name>phoenix</managed-bean-name> <managed-bean-class>com.MSD.NeoGenesis.phoenix.Phoenix</managed-bean-class>
<managed-bean-scope>session</managed-bean-scope>
</managed-bean>

<navigation-rule>
<from-view-id>/WEB-INF/jsp/phoenix.jsp </from-view-id>
<navigation-case>
<from-outcome>false</from-outcome>
<to-view-id>
/WEB-INF/jsp/phoenix.jsp
</to-view-id>
</navigation-case>
<navigation-case>
<from-outcome>verified</from-outcome>
<to-view-id>
/WEB-INF/jsp/phoenixverified.jsp
</to-view-id>
</navigation-case></navigation-rule>

and this is the snapshot of the jsp button

<f:view>
<h:form>
....
<h:commandButton action="#{phoenix.verify}" value="Login"></h:commandButton>
</h:form>
</f:view>

Please let me know whether I miss anything. this would help me a lot in kicking off the rest of the project. Thx beforehand

i checked the log and come up with the following error:
11:17:15,909 ERROR [[/phoenixportlet]] Root cause: Exception while invoking expr
ession #{phoenix.verify}
javax.faces.el.EvaluationException: Exception while invoking expression #{phoeni
x.verify}
at org.apache.myfaces.el.MethodBindingImpl.invoke(MethodBindingImpl.java
:165)
at org.apache.myfaces.application.ActionListenerImpl.processAction(Actio
nListenerImpl.java:63)

Somehow the verify() method is not registered properly since the bean method cannot be found. Any idea why?

Sorry, got it done.... It was my Ant config that was wrong :p

Thanks to those looking at it and sorry for filling up your time :)
