RichFaces connection problem to databases

[maserati]

Hello,

I have a page that contains a tab (Oracle, Teradata), each tab is the connection settings, but when I click connect, nothing is happening, while the methods of connections are good (I tested before moving to RichFaces)

Login.xhtml

<ui:composition   xmlns="http://www.w3.org/1999/xhtml"  
                  xmlns:ui="http://java.sun.com/jsf/facelets"  
                  xmlns:h="http://java.sun.com/jsf/html"  
                  xmlns:f="http://java.sun.com/jsf/core"  
                  xmlns:a4j="http://richfaces.org/a4j"  
                  xmlns:rich="http://richfaces.org/rich">   
    <style>   
    .rich-tab-inactive {   
        cursor: pointer;   
    }   
    .rich-tabpanel-content {   
        border-width: 1px 1px 1px 1px;   
        background-color: transparent;   
    }   
    </style>   
    <p>   
    Here is an example of default tab panel with 3 tabs.   
    <rich:tabPanel headerAlignment="right" switchType="client">   
        <rich:tab label="ORACLE">   
            <h:panelGrid columns="2">   
                <h:outputText value="Host"></h:outputText>   
                <h:inputText value="#{ManagedBeanO.host}"></h:inputText>   
                <h:outputText value="Port"></h:outputText>   
                <h:inputText value="#{ManagedBeanO.port}"></h:inputText>   
                <h:outputText value="User"></h:outputText>   
                <h:inputText value="#{ManagedBeanO.user}"></h:inputText>   
                <h:outputText value="Password"></h:outputText>   
                <h:inputSecret value="#{ManagedBeanO.mdp}"></h:inputSecret>   
                <h:outputText value="Base Name"></h:outputText>   
                <h:inputText value="#{ManagedBeanO.baseName}"></h:inputText>   
            </h:panelGrid>   
            <h:commandButton value="Connect" action="Connect"></h:commandButton>   
        </rich:tab>   
        <rich:tab label="TERADATA">   
            <h:panelGrid columns="2">   
                <h:outputText value="Host"></h:outputText>   
                <h:inputText value="#{ManagedBeanT.host}"></h:inputText>   
                <h:outputText value="User"></h:outputText>   
                <h:inputText value="#{ManagedBeanT.user}"></h:inputText>   
                <h:outputText value="Password"></h:outputText>   
                <h:inputSecret value="#{ManagedBeanT.mdp}"></h:inputSecret>   
            </h:panelGrid>   
            <h:commandButton value="Connect" action="Connect"></h:commandButton>   
        </rich:tab>   
    
    </rich:tabPanel>   
    </p>   
    
</ui:composition>  

Login.xhtml page is linked (in faces-config.xml) with welcome.xhtml page that contains a method called getConnection

welcome.xhtml

<ui:composition    
                  xmlns="http://www.w3.org/1999/xhtml"  
                  xmlns:ui="http://java.sun.com/jsf/facelets"  
                  xmlns:h="http://java.sun.com/jsf/html"  
                  xmlns:f="http://java.sun.com/jsf/core"  
                  xmlns:a4j="http://richfaces.org/a4j"  
                  xmlns:rich="http://richfaces.org/rich"  
                  template="/WEB-INF/templates/BasicTemplate.xhtml">   
    <ui:define name="content">   
        <h:outputLabel value="Welcome #{ManagedBeanO.connectedUser}"></h:outputLabel>   
    </ui:define>   
</ui:composition>  

For example, if the userchoose the ORACLE tab, and click connect, how am I going to call the getConnection located in ManagedBeanO (Oracle) and the same question if the user use Teradata tab.

Thank you in advance

welcome to the community EL,

you are not definig h:form in your page, use h:head and h:form in your page or your template (preferred in your page).

regards.

I have now this message when I click on connect
