CommandButton issues

I have this JSF code

<f:view>
    <h:form>
        <h:commandButton value="Submit info" type="button" action="#{bean.submit}" />
    </h:form>
</f:view>

I also have this bean

@ManagedBean(name="bean")
@RequestScoped
public class Bean{
    public void submit(){
        HttpURLConnection connection = null;
        URL url;
        String generatedUrl = "blalabla"; //Long url
        StringBuffer response = new StringBuffer();
        try {
            url = new URL(generatedUrl);


            connection = (HttpURLConnection) url.openConnection();
            connection.setRequestMethod("POST");

            int responseCode = connection.getResponseCode();
            BufferedReader in = new BufferedReader(new InputStreamReader(connection.getInputStream()));
            String inputLine;


            while((inputLine = in.readLine()) != null){
                response.append(inputLine);
            }
            in.close();
        } catch (Exception e) {
            e.printStackTrace();
        }   

    }
}

When I click the button, the submit method is not executed. Seems as if the button doesn't do anything. Since I set it as type="button", there is no redirect, but still, the method isn't executed.

Any ideas?

Change the type="button" attribute for type="submit" or just remove it, as type="submit" is the default behaviour of the tag. type="button" is normally used to execute client side methods or Ajax calls. Here you have another post by BalusC.
