JSF - Managed Bean = null after redirect - jsf

I am trying to follow a very basic JSF tutorial but I am getting a null pointer in my second page (test.xhtml) if I try to read the user name there but can not find out what I am doing wrong here.
That is my bean:
import java.io.Serializable;
import javax.faces.bean.ManagedBean;
import javax.faces.bean.SessionScoped;
#ManagedBean
#SessionScoped
public class User implements Serializable {
private static final long serialVersionUID = 1L;
private String name;
public String getName() {
return name;
}
public void setName(String name) {
this.name = name;
}
}
This is my starting facelet:
<!DOCTYPE html PUBLIC "-//W3C//DTD XHTML 1.0 Transitional//EN"
"http://www.w3.org/TR/xhtml1/DTD/xhtml1-transitional.dtd">
<html xmlns="http://www.w3.org/1999/xhtml"
xmlns:ui="http://java.sun.com/jsf/facelets"
xmlns:f="http://java.sun.com/jsf/core"
xmlns:h="http://java.sun.com/jsf/html">
<h:head></h:head>
<body>
<h:form>
<h:inputText value="#{user.name}" />
<h:commandLink action="test" value="go" />
</h:form>
</body>
</html>
And I want to print the name in this facelet:
<!DOCTYPE html PUBLIC "-//W3C//DTD XHTML 1.0 Transitional//EN"
"http://www.w3.org/TR/xhtml1/DTD/xhtml1-transitional.dtd">
<html xmlns="http://www.w3.org/1999/xhtml"
xmlns:ui="http://java.sun.com/jsf/facelets"
xmlns:f="http://java.sun.com/jsf/core"
xmlns:h="http://java.sun.com/jsf/html">
<h:head></h:head>
<body>
<h:form>
<h:outputText value="#{user.name}" />
</h:form>
</body>
</html>
Whats the error here?

It seams, the problem was that the bean was in no package (or default package). Moving it to an actual package resolved the problem.

You got the wrong import - the #SessionScoped is from the faces package, it should be the one from the javax.enterprise.context package.
Or you can switch #Named to #javax.faces.bean.ManagedBean, then the #SessionScoped will match (it will no longer be a CDI bean though).

And this warning:
Typee value of the field User.greeting is not used
But there 2 strings to with same get and set but no warnings for them.
I use tomcat 7.0.54.
There's quite a bit wrong with your current code:
You're using the wrong JSF annotations
You're not using JSF-standard tags. Use:
<h:head/> instead of <head> (this is required for most ajax functionality in jsf. Without it, the necessary javascript to support ajax cannot be included on the page
<h:body> instead of <body>
An HTTP-500 is indicative of an actual bug in your code.
Don't be afraid of 500 error code. just read stack trace carefully. there were some error in your code like Null Pointer Exception. please check this code ans tell the result.
import java.io.Serializable;
import javax.faces.bean.ManagedBean;
import javax.faces.bean.SessionScoped;
#ManagedBean
#SessionScoped
public class User implements Serializable {
private String name;
private String password;
private String greeting;
/**
* #return
*/
public String getGreeting() {
if (name == null ||name.length() == 0)
return "";
else
return "Welcome to JSF2 + Ajax, " + name + "!";
}
public String getName() {
return name;
}
public void setName(String name) {
this.name = name;
}
public String getPassword() {
return password;
}
public void setPassword(String password) {
this.password = password;
}
public void setGreeting(String greeting) {
this.greeting = greeting;
}
}
also please be careful about #kolossus answer and use standard jsf tags and annotations
Try to use different annotation
import javax.faces.bean.ManagedBean;
instead of Java EE 6's
import javax.annotation.ManagedBean;

not able to move forward from one jsf page to another

I am trying to build a simple jsf application in which i take user id and name as parameter and trying to display on another page with the help of ManagedBean but so far i haven't succeeded and also the console is showing no error/exception, below are the list of files i'am using.

Thanks
This is the problematic part of your code present in AddUser.jsp
<h:inputText value="#{userBean.id}" required="true">
<f:validateLongRange minimum="1" maximum="500"/>
</h:inputText>
As here you placed a required="true" in <h:inputText../> and I am damn sure that you are not giving the value in id field and you were just submitting the form by giving only name.So thats why your form is not submitting
Solution:
Now you have two solutions
1) Don't change even a single word in code and just give value in id textfield.(Don't think that 0) which you are seeing in id field as a default is a value which will pass the required field scenario
2) Remove tha required="true" part form here <h:inputText value="#{userBean.id}" required="true"> and you will see it running

what is the problem ? do i not clearly state the upload class ?
Any help is good :)
You have overridden the #ManagedBean by a <managed-bean> declaration on the faces-config.xml, however that <managed-bean> declaration has a different managed bean name, namely bean instead of upload.
You have basically 3 options:
Use #{bean} instead of #{upload} in your view.
Rename the <managed-bean-name> in faces-config.xml from bean to upload so that you can use #{upload} in your view.
Get rid of <managed-bean> altogether so that the #ManagedBean will be used. The managed bean name defaults to the bean class name with 1st char lowercased, thus #{upload} should work.
For the remaining, you are not consistent with Java naming conventions. Please work on that as well. Package names should be all lowercase and class names should be CamelCase and start with uppercase.

JSF error in the page - not able get or set values to the bean

I am to do a web application with JSF, just to get and put a value from the JSF to bean and vice versa. I think I have done everything properly but when I start the server and try to access my first page I get the following error
SEVERE: Servlet.service() for servlet [jsp] in context with path [/SimpleJSF] threw exception [/greeting.jsp (line: 20, column: 85) #{...} is not allowed in template text] with root cause

In JSF 2.0, JSP is been deprecated as view technology and succeeded by Facelets. You need to rename your .jsp files to .xhtml files. In your case you also need to remove the entire <%# page %> line in both JSPs. Then you need to invoke them with the .xhtml extension in the URL.
Further, you also need to remove the ConfigureListener from web.xml and you need to rename the JSP welcome file to XHTML. I'd also suggest to use *.xhtml instead of /faces/* as FacesServlet URL pattern. This way you don't need to put a /faces/* in URLs everytime. Finally you need to remove the bean from faces-config.xml and annotate the bean as follows instead of those javax.ejb annotations:
import javax.faces.bean.ManagedBean;
import javax.faces.bean.RequestScoped;
#ManagedBean
#RequestScoped
public class ResultNumber {
After all, it seems that you were reading JSF 1.x tutorials and mixing it up with JSF 2.x. You should be extremely careful what JSF version the JSF book/tutorial you're reading target. Since JSF 2.0 a lot of things are done differently.
You are using .jsp files,so you should import the taglibs manually.Add these two lines right above your opening html tag.
<%# taglib uri="http://java.sun.com/jsf/core" prefix="f"%>
<%# taglib uri="http://java.sun.com/jsf/html" prefix="h"%>
