Having recently upgraded to JSF 2.3 from 2.2, I noticed that @ManagedBean was deprecated, and after some research found that I should be using CDI-1.2 managed beans and the @Named annotation.
However after changing over to @Named, the JSF pages can't find the managed bean:
javax.servlet.ServletException: /index.xhtml @38,38 value="#{controller.telstraPass}": Target Unreachable, identifier 'controller' resolved to null
I am using Maven, eclipse and WebSphere Application Server liberty v16.0.0.4
No Idea what I am doing wrong, here are the relevant files:
Controller.java:
package ManagedBeans;
import java.io.PrintWriter;
import java.io.Serializable;
import java.io.StringWriter;
import javax.enterprise.context.SessionScoped;
import javax.inject.Named;
import javax.servlet.http.Part;
import Main.FileHandler;
import Main.IBMEmployee;
@Named("controller")
@SessionScoped
public class Controller implements Serializable {
private Part telstraCustomersFile;
private Part terminateesFile;
private String telstraPass;
private String termineesPass;
private String exception;
private String exceptionTrace;
private FileHandler fileHandler = new FileHandler();
private IBMEmployee[] potentialMatches;
public String perform()
{
try {
fileHandler.process(telstraCustomersFile, terminateesFile, telstraPass, termineesPass);
potentialMatches = fileHandler.potentialMatches;
}
catch (Exception ex) {
StringWriter errors = new StringWriter();
ex.printStackTrace(new PrintWriter(errors));
exception = ex.toString();
exceptionTrace = errors.toString();
return ("errorPage.xhtml");
}
return ("searchExcel.xhtml");
}
public void setTelstraPass(String value) { telstraPass = value; }
public String getTelstraPass() { return telstraPass; }
public void setTermineesPass(String value) { termineesPass = value; }
public String getTermineesPass() { return termineesPass; }
public void setTelstraCustomersFile(Part file) { telstraCustomersFile = file; }
public Part getTelstraCustomersFile() { return telstraCustomersFile; }
public void setTerminateesFile(Part file) { terminateesFile = file; }
public Part getTerminateesFile() { return terminateesFile; }
public String getException() { return exception; }
public String getExceptionTrace() { return exceptionTrace; }
public IBMEmployee[] getExactMatches() { return fileHandler.exactMatches; }
public IBMEmployee[] getPotentialMatches() { return potentialMatches; }
}
