I have been working some java examples using JSF 2.2, Eclipse Java EE IDE (Luna Release 2 (4.4.2) and Java jre1.8.0_66 and I have run across an error. When I try to run the following xhtml file on using Run as Server (Apache Tomcat 8.0) I get an error.
The Java Class is as follows:
package com.luv2code.jsf.hello;
import javax.faces.bean.ManagedBean;
@ManagedBean
public class Student {
private String sfirstName;
private String slastName;
// create a no-arg constructor
public Student() {
}
public String getFirstName() {
return sfirstName;
}
public void setFirstName(String sfirstName) {
this.sfirstName = sfirstName;
}
public String getLastName() {
return slastName;
}
public void setLastName(String slastName) {
this.slastName = slastName;
}
// define public getter and setter methods to expose properties of the managed Bean
}
*** I had changed the variable name from firstName to sfirstName to see if that made a difference.
Also the XHTML file is :
<!DOCTYPE html>
<html lang="en"
xmlns="http://www.w3.org/1999/xhtml"
xmlns:h="http://xmlns.jcp.org/jsf/html"
xmlns:a="http://xmlns.jcp.org/jsf/passthrough">
<h:head>
<title> Student Registration</title>
</h:head>
<h:body>
<h:form>
First Name: <h:inputText value="#{student.sfirstName}"/>
<br/><br/>
Last Name: <:inputText value="#{student.slastName}" />
<br/><br/>
<h:commandButton value="Submit" action="student_response" />
</h:form>
</h:body>
</html>
*** I have run other sample projects successfully but this is my first using a no arg constructor for the managedBean example.
The error I am getting is:
HTTP Status 500- Unresolved compilation problems

and if I hover over String I see String cannot be resolved to a type and if I hover over Student (the no-arg constructor) I see Implicit constructor Object() is undefined. Must explicitly invoke another constructor.
I am not sure why it wont let me use the private String in m Student class.
Can anyone explain this or offer me some suggestion?
I am fairly new with Java, not even a year experience with Java EE and Eclipse.
Thank you!
