Forwarding to same page with same managed bean - jsf

Question

I am usnig jsf 2.1 and PrimeFaces 4.0.
I have simple html page index.html which is having a link as :
<a href="pages/findus.jsf">
this link open's a page findus.jsf, on this page I have command button as:
<p:commandButton value="Find" action="#{findUsBean.onClickBtnFindUs}">
in onClickBtnFindUs I need setup some values to fields of FindUsBean and redirect to same page means findus.jsf and want to retrieve that values on findus.jsf page.
following is my complete FindUsBean.
#ManagedBean(name = "findUsBean")
#RequestScoped
public class FindUsBean implements Serializable{
private static final long serialVersionUID = 1L;
#ManagedProperty(value = "#{findUsService}")
private FindUsService findUsService;
private String state;
private String city;
private String zip;
private String result;
public String onClickBtnFindUs(){
RestaurantLocationMaster restoLoc = new RestaurantLocationMaster();
System.out.println(getState());
restoLoc.setResState(getState());
restoLoc.setResCity(getCity());
restoLoc.setResZip(getZip());
restoLoc = findRestaurantLocation(restoLoc);
if(null != restoLoc){
setState(restoLoc.getResState());
setCity(restoLoc.getResCity());
setZip(restoLoc.getResZip());
setResult(restoLoc.getResAddress1()+","+restoLoc.getResAddress2());
}else{
setResult("Comming soon...");
}
System.out.println(getState() +""+getCity());
return "/pages/findus.jsf";
}
public RestaurantLocationMaster findRestaurantLocation(RestaurantLocationMaster restoLoc){
RestaurantLocationMaster restoLoc1 = null;
restoLoc1 = findUsService.findRestaurantLocation(restoLoc);
return restoLoc1;
}
public String getState() {
return state;
}
public void setState(String state) {
this.state = state;
}
public String getCity() {
return city;
}
public void setCity(String city) {
this.city = city;
}
public String getZip() {
return zip;
}
public void setZip(String zip) {
this.zip = zip;
}
public void setFindUsService(FindUsService findUsService) {
this.findUsService = findUsService;
}
public FindUsService getFindUsService() {
return findUsService;
}
public void setResult(String result) {
this.result = result;
}
public String getResult() {
return result;
}
}
and my findus.jsf is:
<h:form prependId="false" method='POST'>
<table>
<tr>
<td><p:outputLabel value="State"></p:outputLabel>
</td>
<td><p:inputText maxlength="20" value="#{findUsBean.state}"></p:inputText>
</td>
</tr>
<tr>
<td><p:outputLabel value="city"></p:outputLabel>
</td>
<td><p:inputText maxlength="20" value="#{findUsBean.city}"></p:inputText>
</td>
</tr>
<tr>
<td><p:outputLabel value="zip"></p:outputLabel>
</td>
<td><p:inputText maxlength="8" value="#{findUsBean.zip}"></p:inputText>
</td>
</tr>
<tr>
<td colspan="2" align="right"><p:commandButton value="Find"
action="#{findUsBean.onClickBtnFindUs}">
</p:commandButton>
</td>
</tr>
<tr>
<td colspan="2"></td>
</tr>
<tr>
<td></td>
<td><p:inputTextarea value="#{findUsBean.result}"
readonly="true"></p:inputTextarea>
</td>
</tr>
</table>
I am not able to get values. If this is wrong way then please suggest me proper one.

The problem ist the scope of your bean. You should use #ViewScope or a larger scope.
