Again, I must be overlooking something simple. So I have a page that has a header/footer. menu on the left and content in the center right. So the menu on the left is working with a stateless session bean, They click a link on the left and a form appears in the center, with two buttons a Begin and a Cancel button. The actions of these buttoms should call my statefull session bean, but it isn't. Here is the start of my statefull session bean | @Stateful | @Local | @Name("tripmanager") | public class TripManagerImpl implements TripManager { | | Here is the jsf tags in my xhtml page | <tr> | <td> | <h:commandButton action="#{tripmanager.startRoadTrip}" | value="Begin" /> | </td> | <td> | <h:commandButton action="#{tripmanager.cancel}" | value="Cancel" /> | </td> | </tr> | Here is the method that is linked to the Begin button | @In (value="start", required=true, scope=ScopeType.SESSION) | @Out (value="roadTrip", scope=ScopeType.SESSION) | public String startRoadTrip(Location start) { | System.out.println("Starting the startRoadTrip Method"); | TripLookup lookup = new TripLookup(start, null); | try { | RoadTrip roadTrip = lookup.getTripInformation(); | RoadTripDAO dao = new RoadTripDAO(); | dao.saveRoadTrip(roadTrip); | } catch (RoadTripException e) { | e.printStackTrace(); | return "failed"; | } | System.out.println("***********************"); | System.out.println("Returning Entry from startRoadTrip"); | return "entry"; | } | And here is my navigation rule defined in the faces-config.xml | <navigation-rule> | <from-view-id>/*</from-view-id> | <navigation-case> | <from-outcome>entry</from-outcome> | <to-view-id>/fullentry.xhtml</to-view-id> | </navigation-case> | <navigation-case> | <from-outcome>cancel</from-outcome> | <to-view-id>/index.xhtml</to-view-id> | </navigation-case> | <navigation-case> | <from-outcome>start</from-outcome> | <to-view-id>/roadtripentry.xhtml</to-view-id> | </navigation-case> | <navigation-case> | <from-outcome>list</from-outcome> | <to-view-id>/roadtripentry.xhtml</to-view-id> | </navigation-case> | <navigation-case> | <from-outcome>cancel</from-outcome> | <to-view-id>/index.xhtml</to-view-id> | </navigation-case> | <navigation-case> | <from-outcome>failed</from-outcome> | <to-view-id>/failed.xhtml</to-view-id> | </navigation-case> | </navigation-rule> | Any ideas where I might try to look. I have tried a lot of different things but have not had success. Thanks View the original post : http://www.jboss.com/index.html?module=bb&op=viewtopic&p=3981467#...
