Error during model data update

[jason_rency]

hi all,

I used the booking example to creat another application regserver. after deployed, when I tried to register a new user, the following error just appears on the registration page:

"UId": Error during model data update.
"EMail": Error during model data update.
"phoneNumber": Error during model data update.

any idea?

thanks

here is the stack track:

just get more detailes for ERROR:

when I click on cancle (which redirects to the login page) or register new user (which directs to the registration page).I got the following exceptions:

I think this might be some problem with my faces-config.xml or pages.xml.

when I click on login button or register button, which invoke the loginAction or registerAction, the following error will appear:

Error during model data update.

[pmuir]

"UId": Error during model data update.
"EMail": Error during model data update.
"phoneNumber": Error during model data update.

Looks to me as though user is null.

I tried to print out the value and some debug informaton in the registerAction.java:

System.out.println(PIN);
 System.out.println(user.getUId());

seems the register method hasn't been invoked yet, or at least there should be null pointer exception if the user is Null or PIN is NULL.

[pmuir]

I take it you mean you put the debug information in your register() method in RegisterAction? If the model update phase fails the invoke application phase won't occur (which is when the register() method would be called). Try setting a breakpoint on one of the setter methods of the entity and see if it gets called.

[jason_rency]

I set a break point at the setUId method of the entity bean, it seems the setter method hasn't been called.

[jason_rency]

I have four properies for the entity bean:
UId
pinHASH
EMail
PhoneNumber.

among those the pinHash is not set directly from the registration page. it is set in the regiser() method (registeration.java) where the hashcode of the PIN(get this from the registration page) is caculated.

should this be a problem because I haven't got all the properties from the registeration page?

[pmuir]

No.

http://www-128.ibm.com/developerworks/library/j-jsf2

This is a good introduction to the JSF lifecycle and should help you understand what the error message 'error during model update' means.

As I mentioned above it looks like you never create an instance of user (either via new User() or create=true) so user is null (which I find a common cause of model update errors).
