jsf doesn't look for its beans - jsf-2

I am building a web app based on ICEmobile with JSF 2.1 and Maven. I'm running into this problem when my jsf page doesn't look for its bean but I still can build and deploy the project with no errors, I deploy the project via run configuration in Eclipse: clean tomcat7:run-war. Even if I declare the bean via annotation or applicationContext.xml, the page still doesn't call the bean correctly. I can get the value of the field in the bean but cannot call the method within that bean System.out.println("Pressed"); gives no output to the console. I'm guessing it must be something to do with my configuration but I don't know where to look into. Please give me some hints. Thanks

The Bean:
import javax.faces.bean.ManagedBean;
import javax.faces.bean.SessionScoped;
import javax.faces.event.ActionEvent;
#ManagedBean(name = ButtonBean.BEAN_NAME)
#SessionScoped
public class ButtonBean implements Serializable {
private static final long serialVersionUID = 1L;
public static final String BEAN_NAME = "buttonBean";
private String buttonName = "0";
public String getButtonName() {
return buttonName;
}
public void setButtonName(String buttonName) {
this.buttonName = buttonName;
}
public void buttonPress(ActionEvent event){
System.out.println("Pressed");
String buttonState = (String)event.getComponent().getAttributes().get("buttonState");
if (buttonState.equals("change") && buttonName.equals("0")) buttonName = "1";
else if (buttonState.equals("change") && buttonName.equals("1")) buttonName = "0";
}
}

I found out that my web.xml was set as version 2.5. Change to version 3.0. All works now

Unable to get values for property from t:saveState whenever managed bean is in request scope

I am working in JSF, But i am not able to get the property values from t:saveState whenever managed bean is in request scope.
Here is my managed bean class:
#ManagedBean(name="demoBean")
#RequestScoped
public class DemoBean {
private String name;
public String getName() {
return name;
}
public void setName(String name) {
this.name = name;
}
public String submitButton() {
System.out.println("submitButton method");
return "nextPage";
}
}
index.xhtml page is here
<html xmlns="http://www.w3.org/1999/xhtml"
xmlns:h="http://java.sun.com/jsf/html"
xmlns:f="http://java.sun.com/jsf/core"
xmlns:ui="http://java.sun.com/jsf/facelets"
xmlns:t="http://myfaces.apache.org/tomahawk">
<head>
</head>
<body>
<t:saveState value="#{demoBean.name}"></t:saveState>
<h:form id="demoForm">
<t:outputLabel value="Name:" style="font-weight:bold"></t:outputLabel>
<t:inputText value="#{demoBean.name}" id="txt"></t:inputText>
<t:commandButton value="Submit" action="#{demoBean.submitButton}"></t:commandButton>
</h:form>

NextPage.xhtml is here

</head>
<body>
<h:form>
<h:outputLabel value="I am here #{demoBean.name}"></h:outputLabel>
</h:form>
</body>
</html>
Any help will be useful
I realize this is an old post, but don't you just have to add
<t:saveState value="#{demoBean.name}"></t:saveState>
to the Nextpage.xhtml per http://wiki.apache.org/myfaces/SaveState ?

Primefaces Partial Rendering - commandButton actionListener not fired

Your backing bean is request scoped. This means that it's created on every HTTP request. So the url property will default to y.xhtml on every request.
Submitting the form by the command button creates a new HTTP request. So it gets a new instance of the request scoped bean with the url property defaulted to y.xhtml. When JSF needs to process the form submit, it can't figure the button pressed because it's not present in y.xhtml. So JSF cannot invoke the action associated with the button pressed.
Placing the bean in view scope should fix your problem.
#ManagedBean
#ViewScoped
public class tbean {
This will remember the url property properly across the HTTP requests on the very same view (by returning null or void on every action).
See also:
How to choose the right bean scope?
As to the whole design, you need to make absolutely sure that all the ajax actions are been invoked by PrimeFaces components, not by the standard JSF <f:ajax> ones, otherwise the commandbutton would still not be invoked due to a bug in JSF JS.

commandButton/commandLink/ajax action/listener method not invoked or input value not updated (point 7)

f:validateRequiered doesn't work as expected

I have just created a NetBeans project with JSF 2.0 and I have a problem with f:validateRequired. The bean
import javax.faces.bean.ManagedBean;
import javax.faces.bean.RequestScoped;
#ManagedBean
#RequestScoped
public class TestBean {
private String value;
public String getValue() {
return value;
}
public void setValue(String value) {
this.value = value;
}
public String action() {
return "test";
}
}
and the page
<?xml version='1.0' encoding='UTF-8' ?>
<!DOCTYPE html PUBLIC "-//W3C//DTD XHTML 1.0 Strict//EN" "http://www.w3.org/TR/xhtml1/DTD/xhtml1-strict.dtd">
<html xmlns="http://www.w3.org/1999/xhtml"
xmlns:h="http://java.sun.com/jsf/html"
xmlns:f="http://java.sun.com/jsf/core">
<h:head>
<title>Test</title>
<h:outputStylesheet name="css/stylesheet.css" />
</h:head>
<h:body>
<h:form>
<div id="content">
Value:
<h:message for="test" />
<h:inputText value="#{testBean.value}" id="test">
<f:validateRequired />
</h:inputText>
<br/>
<h:commandButton action="#{testBean.action}" value="Action" />
</div>
</h:form>
</h:body>
</html>
seems to be allright, but the h:message isn't there until I supply the requered="true" attribute on the inputText. What I am missing? Why the validation does not occure whithout the requered="true" attribute?
I figured the answer: fields with empty input are not validated at all by default. If you wish to validate such field you have to set required=true. See UIInput.validateValue() JavaDoc
You can enable the validation of empty fields by setting the javax.faces.VALIDATE_EMPTY_FIELDS context parameter to true. See JavaDoc. After doing that the example above works as expected.
I know this post is kind of old, but I'm using MyFaces and apparently javax.faces.VALIDATE_EMPTY_FIELDS is set to false by default.

Start conversation on page load

I'm a beginner in Java EE 6 and was recently playing with conversations. I was not able to find out how to start conversation immediately as JSF page is loaded (as in Seam). Is this doable?
It's doable.
