Setter Methods are not being called

[Surendra Poranki]

Hello Folks

I have a customer search page in which they can search for ,regular customers,Business Customers or Govt Customers. When I search for Some regular customer the setter methods are called but when i search for business and govt customer the setter methods are not being called.
We use the tomhawk faces.

<%@ taglib uri="http://myfaces.apache.org/tomahawk" prefix="t"%>

facesConfig

<managed-bean>
<managed-bean-name>customerSearchBean</managed-bean-name>
<managed-bean class>us.tn.state.trust.presentation.beans.CustomerSearchBean</managed-bean-class>
<managed-bean-scope>request</managed-bean-scope>

Hi,

According to the JSF lifecycle if there is an error at validation phase or conversion phase, then setter wont get called.

[Surendra Poranki]

Is there a way to debug these kind of issues its really hard to find if theres some thing wrong with the JSF page.

[Benson Fung]

Hi Surendra,

Please let me know if you got the solution. I am also being stuck to the similar problem that you came across.


thanks
Benson

Hi Guys,

I am also facing the same problem, I am not seeing any problem in JSF page, but setter is not calling.
if one found solution please let me know.

[Tim Holloway]

Surendra, your example is very hard to read. The JavaRanch message editor has a button labelled "Code" that can be used to generate wrapper tags. If you use that, it won't chew up things.

A useful trick in JSF to debug validation problems is to put an "h:messages" tag up at the top of the view so that all the generated messages will display. Make sure you have the "globalonly" attribute set to false, so that the per-field messages display as well as the general messages.
