javax.el.PropertyNotFoundException: Target Unreachable, identifier 'UserManager' resolved to null

Question

I'm having problem accessing my managed beans in JSF pages. This is my jsf:

<?xml version='1.0' encoding='UTF-8' ?>
<!DOCTYPE composition PUBLIC "-//W3C//DTD XHTML 1.0 Transitional//EN" "http://www.w3.org/TR/xhtml1/DTD/xhtml1-transitional.dtd">
<ui:composition xmlns="http://www.w3.org/1999/xhtml"
            xmlns:ui="http://xmlns.jcp.org/jsf/facelets"
            xmlns:h="http://xmlns.jcp.org/jsf/html"
            xmlns:p="http://xmlns.jcp.org/jsf/passthrough"
            template="./template.xhtml">

<ui:define name="left">
    <h:form>
        <h:inputText value="#{UserManager.user.username}" p:placeholder="Username" /><br /><br />
        <h:inputSecret value="#{UserManager.user.password}" p:placeholder="Password" /><br /><br />
        <h:inputText value="#{UserManager.user.firstname}" p:placeholder="Förnamn" /><br /><br />
        <h:inputText value="#{UserManager.user.lastname}" p:placeholder="Efternamn" /><br /><br />
        <h:inputText value="#{UserManager.user.phonenumber}" p:placeholder="Telefonnummer" /><br /><br />
        <h:commandButton value="Register" action="#{UserManager.save}" />
    </h:form>
    <br /><br />

    <h:form>
        <h:commandLink action="#{UserManager.testDispatch}" value="Test Dispatch" />
    </h:form>
</ui:define>

<ui:define name="right">
    right
</ui:define>

This is the template:

This is the managed bean:

@ManagedBean
@SessionScoped
public class UserManager implements Serializable {
private User user;
private FacesContext context;

@EJB
private UserService UserService;

@PostConstruct
public void init(){
    user = new User();
}

public void Save(){
    UserService.create(user);
}

public void testDispatch() throws IOException{
    ExternalContext ec = FacesContext.getCurrentInstance().getExternalContext();
    ec.invalidateSession();
    ec.redirect(ec.getRequestContextPath() + "/index.xhtml");
}

public void logout() throws IOException{
    ExternalContext ec = FacesContext.getCurrentInstance().getExternalContext();
    ec.invalidateSession();
    ec.redirect(ec.getRequestContextPath() + "/index.xhtml");
}
}

The error message I get is:

javax.el.PropertyNotFoundException: /register.xhtml @21,89 action="#{UserManager.testDispatch}": Target Unreachable, identifier 'UserManager' resolved to null

There is no faces-config.xml so the Managed bean name should default to classname?

You made the same coding convention mistake on `UserService` instance variable, by the way. — BalusC, May 13 '14 at 16:43
Thanks. Another thing that hindered me was that I had imported javax.annotation.managedbean but changed it faces.managedbean and it worked. — user2455558, May 14 '14 at 05:25
