Problem similar to:
Target Unreachable, identifier resolved to null JSF 2.2
How to reference JSF managed beans which are provided in a JAR file?
Identifying and solving javax.el.PropertyNotFoundException: Target Unreachable
Java EE 6: Target Unreachable, identifier 'helloBean' resolved to null
But none of resolutions helped me. When I click command button (on page, please see xhtml file) I got:
An Error Occurred:
javax.el.PropertyNotFoundException: /navigate.xhtml @15,90 action="#{navigator.choosePage}": Target Unreachable, identifier 'navigator' resolved to null
I can get why. Why this bean is not visible in jsf?
Using java8, j2ee 7, tomcat 6.0.44
