    <p>I am creating a Timesheet application using JSF and am currently working on the login portion. It's a straight forward login that takes a login ID and a password and checks if it is a valid combination (though at this point I am just working on administrator login).</p> <p>My problem seems to be that JSF is not updating my loginID and password fields before calling the verify action method because when I click login, it throws a NullPointerException. Here is my verify method.</p> <pre><code>/** * Verifies that the loginID and password is the super user combination. * @return true if it is, false if it is not. */ public String verifyUser() { ResourceBundle login = getSuperUserLogin(); String user = getLoginID(); String checkPassword = getPassword(); if(!login.containsKey(user) || !checkPassword.equals(login.getString(user))) { return "regular"; } return "super"; } </code></pre> <p>and my login page</p> <pre><code>&lt;body&gt; &lt;div class = "content" align = "center"&gt; &lt;h:form&gt; &lt;h3&gt;#{msgs.loginTitle}&lt;/h3&gt; &lt;h:panelGrid columns="2" cellpadding = "4"&gt; &lt;h:outputText value = "#{msgs.userID}" styleClass="title" /&gt; &lt;h:inputText value="#{user.loginID}" styleClass="rounded" /&gt; &lt;h:outputText value = "#{msgs.password}" styleClass="title" /&gt; &lt;h:inputSecret value="#{user.password}" styleClass="rounded" /&gt; &lt;/h:panelGrid&gt; &lt;p&gt;&lt;h:commandButton value="#{msgs.login}" styleClass="button" action="#{superUser.verifyUser}"/&gt;&lt;/p&gt; &lt;/h:form&gt; &lt;/div&gt; </code></pre> <p></p> <p>Now if I hardcode the login ID and password into the user and checkPassword fields, then it works no problem. So I figure that the problem be that loginID and password fields are null (as getLoginID() and getPassword() are just regular old getters that return those fields). I know the answer is going to be something silly and that I am going to feel embarrassed for missing it but I am hitting my head on a wall at this point.</p> <p>Just so information is complete, the loginID and password fields are located in the a User class (with appropriate setters provided), while the verifyUser method is located in a subclass SuperUser. I don't know why if this would matter at all, but this would be my first JSF application using super and subclasses so you never know.</p> <p><strong>Edit:</strong> On request here is my User class code</p> <pre><code>package ca.bcit.infosys.timesheet.model; import java.util.ResourceBundle; import javax.enterprise.context.ApplicationScoped; import javax.inject.Named; @Named @ApplicationScoped public class User implements java.io.Serializable { /** The user's name */ private String name; /** The user's employee number */ private int empNumber; /** The user's login ID */ private String loginID; /** The user's password */ private String password; /** Is the user currently in an editable state (i.e. the user's information can be edited on the webpage) */ private boolean editable; private ResourceBundle superUserLogin = ResourceBundle.getBundle("ca.bcit.infosys.timesheet.model.messages"); /** * @return the name */ public String getName() { return name; } /** * @param name the name to set */ public void setName(String name) { this.name = name; } /** * @return the empNumber */ public int getEmpNumber() { return empNumber; } /** * @param empNumber the empNumber to set */ public void setEmpNumber(int empNumber) { this.empNumber = empNumber; } /** * @return the loginID */ public String getLoginID() { return loginID; } /** * @param loginID the loginID to set */ public void setLoginID(String loginID) { this.loginID = loginID; } /** * @return the password */ public String getPassword() { return password; } /** * @param password the password to set */ public void setPassword(String password) { this.password = password; } /** * @return the isEditable */ public boolean isEditable() { return editable; } /** * @param isEditable the isEditable to set */ public void setEditable(boolean editable) { this.editable = editable; } /** * @return the Property containing the super user login information. */ public ResourceBundle getSuperUserLogin() { return superUserLogin; } </code></pre> <p>}</p>

    1. COCan you share your User class code? Since user fields are not populating could be something is missing there.

A row detail

Detail views are divided into sections. All the information in the data section comes from columns in the selected row. The other sections display data from other, related rows.

Related data can be related in a to-one or a to-many fashion. Captions of data related in a to-many fashion link to a list view showing a filtered view of the table.

Try moving around until you find a non-empty to-many entry and click on the label to get to one. You can move back to the root by clicking on the database name in the header.
