jsf inputSecret

[jrthor2]

I have the following code for my password text box:


<h:inputSecret styleClass="inputSecret" id="password" required="true"><f:validateLength minimum="6" maximum="8"></f:validateLength></h:inputSecret>


In my Login.java class, when I try to print out the value of password after submitting the page, it always comes back null. Here is my code for the Login.java class:


public class Login extends PageCodeBase {

protected HtmlScriptCollector scriptCollector1;
protected HtmlForm form1;
protected HtmlOutputText text2;
protected HtmlInputSecret password;
protected HtmlMessage message2;
protected HtmlCommandExButton submit;
protected UIParameter param1;
protected HtmlOutputText text1;
String userid;
protected HtmlMessage message1;
protected HtmlScriptCollector getScriptCollector1() {
if (scriptCollector1 == null) {
scriptCollector1 =
(HtmlScriptCollector) findComponentInRoot("scriptCollector1");
}
return scriptCollector1;
}
protected HtmlForm getForm1() {
if (form1 == null) {
form1 = (HtmlForm) findComponentInRoot("form1");
}
return form1;
}
protected HtmlOutputText getText2() {
if (text2 == null) {
text2 = (HtmlOutputText) findComponentInRoot("text2");
}
return text2;
}
protected HtmlInputSecret getPassword() {
if (password == null) {
password = (HtmlInputSecret) findComponentInRoot("password");
}
return password;
}
protected HtmlMessage getMessage2() {
if (message2 == null) {
message2 = (HtmlMessage) findComponentInRoot("message2");
}
return message2;
}
protected HtmlCommandExButton getSubmit() {
if (submit == null) {
submit = (HtmlCommandExButton) findComponentInRoot("submit");
}
return submit;
}

protected HtmlOutputText getText1() {
if (text1 == null) {
text1 = (HtmlOutputText) findComponentInRoot("text1");
}
return text1;
}
public String getUserid() {
return userid;
}
public void setUserid(String newUserid) {
userid = newUserid;
}
protected HtmlMessage getMessage1() {
if (message1 == null) {
message1 = (HtmlMessage) findComponentInRoot("message1");
}
return message1;
}

public String doSubmitAction() {
System.out.println("Userid: "+userid);
System.out.println("Password: "+password);
// Type Java code to handle command event here
// Note, this code must return an object of type String (or null)
System.out.println("inside doSubmitAction");
if (userid.equals("xxx") && password.equals("xxx")) {
System.out.println("inside success");
return "success";
} else {
System.out.println("inside failure");
return "failure";
}
}
}
