If you use the editor's "Code" button, it will generate special markup tags that help format code and XML samples to make them easier to read.

The one thing you didn't include was Register.xhtml, I think. Apparently, however, you coded action="" on one of the commandButton or commandLink elements. That is not a valid method expression. You need an actual bean method reference.

Just for info, backing beans are not Controllers. They are Models. In JSF, the Controllers are pre-written code in the FacesServlet and tags. Action methods are not Controller Methods, since the purpose of a Controller is to synchronize data between Model and View, and Action methods are business logic functions outside the MVC paradigm.
