Check the calendar widget and the tooltips on the credit card fields.
The form uses Ajax-based validations to redisplay server-side errors without refreshing the entire page.
The booking bean backing the form is a flow-scoped object (see <strong>booking-flow.xml</strong>).

<ui:define name="content">
<h:form>
<h:outputLabel for="price">Enter the Name:</h:outputLabel>
<h:inputText id="name" value="#{hello.name}">

<p:commandButton id="click" action="click" value="click" />
</h:form>

Change
if (name == test)
to
if (name.equals(test))
Or, simply,
if (name.equals("new"))
