I have facelets page and managed bean that is associated with it. i have used primefaces components and my problem is i want to get the values selected by the user of each components when a commandbutton is clicked. when i try to write a JoptionPane or system.out.print it does not work. i have set the commandbutton action property to btnsearchFlight method whcih is found in the managedbean. so any one what is the problem what i am missing. Or an example will be very much appreciated.
