JSF Managed bean values return null

I encountered a problem when I was deploying my Login.xhtml. I keep getting null values for my userName and passWord values even though I have use the userManagerBean.userName and userManagerBean.passWord to store the values input by the user.

Any help?

My codes are below.

Thanks! :)

p:ajax defaults to processing @this, which means that the values of the inputText's will never be updated on the bean.

Besides, p:commandButton has ajax capabilities by itself, and it even defaults to process="@form" which is what you want.

So just change the button to

<p:commandButton value="Login" 
                 id="ajax" 
                 actionListener="#{userManagerBean.loginResult()}" 
                 update="status">
</p:commandButton>

Besides I would make the bean @SessionScoped, since you need to remember the loginStatus for the whole session.
