I just started learning jsf. I have used JSF2.0 and java version 1.8 and tomcat server to build a simple form page.
I am trying to get values from form and save it in a list. Following is the code i wrote.
createDemand.java(managed bean)
import javax.faces.bean.ManagedBean;
import javax.faces.bean.RequestScoped;
@ManagedBean(name = "dem")
@RequestScoped
public class DemandBean implements Serializable
{
private static final long serialVersionUID = 1L;
private String role;
private String portfolio;
//getters and setter for role and portfolio
public String submitted(){
System.out.println("Bean executed");
setRole(role);
setPortfolio(portfolio);
List<String> form = new ArrayList<String>();
form.add(role);
form.add(portfolio);
System.out.println(form.toString());
return "new";
}
//tostring
}
When i submit the page no action is taking place. demand.xhtml
