Answer 1

In your XHTML
<p:inputText id="type_inp1" value="#{coverageBean.type}" />
is mapped to
HtmlInputText type;
This is wrong. The value should map to variable of type String.
Changes:
private String type;
public String getType() {
return type;
}
public void setType(Stringtype) {
this.type = type;
}
Make above changes and try and it should work.
FYI - Use HtmlInputText for binding only. But you DO NOT need to Bind here.
