The result of a direct action returned NULL/nil.

I'm new to Macs so please bear with me. I've been tasked with setting up a new iMac (20 inch display - totally stock - bought on Saturday.) After plugging it in and started running through the registration, setting up the wireless access then it looked like the setup was doing something with the camera suddenly it flashed to the following message:
"the result of a direct action returned NULL/nil." the Continue and Back buttons at the bottom of the page were dimmed out. The only thing I could do was reboot the computer.
Is there any way to restart the "setup sequence" - as if I just plugged it in and turned it on for the first time? Have I missed anything in the setup because of this error? Anyone know why this happened? I've tried to search on this topic but couldn't find anything. If I've missed something please direct me to the appropriate link.
Thanks.
20 inch iMac 2.16GHz Intel Core 2 Duo Mac OS X (10.4.6)

Go to ~user/Library/Assistants and double click the file Send Registration.setup and it should relaunch the Mac OS X Setup Assistant.

Hi
In AR, you will give cash discount to customer and not the other way round as you mentioned.
For eg if AR value is 100 and customer pays you 90, there is a difference of 10. Assume you have cash discount % of say 6%, you expect the customer to pay 94 (100- 6% of 100) and not 90. There is still a gap of 4. This can be added to cash discount account if you enter 4 in this field. Hence the A/c entry will be:
Dr Bank 90
Dr cash discount (expense/loss) 10
Cr Customer 100
However this field is interlinked with some other fields like "Cash discount per line item", etc

Splitting out string, using the results to lookup reference, then returning the reference name as a string?

I have a field that contains a comma separated string of sys_id’s that relate to another table.
I am trying to write a query that returns the name value from the reference table, so that the result is a comma separated string of the name field.
Can anyone help with the SQL required to split out the sys_id’s, do the look-up and return the names back into a string?
Table1
Number
Category
1001
Sys_id1, Sys_id3, Sys_id9
1002
Sys_id3
1003
Sys_id4,Sys_3
1004
Sys_id1, Sys_id9, Sys_id10, Sys_id6
Category Reference Table
Category Sys_id
Category_Name
Sys_id1
Consulting
Sys_id3
Negotiate
Sys_id4
Planning
Sys_id6
Building
Sys_id9
Receipt
Sys_id10
Complete
The result I am looking for would be.
Number
Category
1001
Consulting, Negotiate, Receipt
1002
Negotiate
1003
Planning, Negotiate
1004
Consulting, Receipt, Complete, Building

I am not going to arguee regarding your model, but you should consider normalizing it.
The idea is to have a function to split the string and return a row for each element in the list. Dump the result into a table and then use FOR XML PATH to do the string aggregation.
To learn about different methods you could use to create the split function refer to this article.
Arrays and Lists in SQL Server
http://www.sommarskog.se/arrays-in-sql.html
Here is an example using XML methods. This is just an example and it doesn't deal with proper indexing, weird characters as part of the list that can't be translated as xml, etc.
SET NOCOUNT ON;
USE tempdb;
GO
DECLARE @T TABLE (
Number int,
Category varchar(50)
INSERT INTO @T (Number, Category)
VALUES
(1001, 'Sys_id1, Sys_id3, Sys_id9'),
(1002, 'Sys_id3'),
(1003, 'Sys_id4, Sys_id3'),
(1004, 'Sys_id1, Sys_id9, Sys_id10, Sys_id6');
DECLARE @R TABLE (
Sys_id varchar(15),
Category_Name varchar(35)
INSERT INTO @R (Sys_id, Category_Name)

('Sys_id1', 'Consulting'),
('Sys_id3', 'Negotiate'),
('Sys_id4', 'Planning'),

('Sys_id10', ' Complete');
DECLARE @W TABLE (
Number int,
pos int,
Sys_id varchar(15),
PRIMARY KEY (Number, Sys_id)
INSERT INTO @W (Number, pos, Sys_id)
SELECT
A.Number,
ROW_NUMBER() OVER(PARTITION BY A.Number ORDER BY N.x) AS pos,
N.x.value('(text())[1]', 'varchar(15)') AS Sys_id
FROM
@T AS A
CROSS APPLY
(SELECT A.Category AS [text()] FOR XML PATH('')) AS B(c)
CROSS APPLY
(SELECT CAST('<l>' + REPLACE(B.c, ', ', '</l><l>') + '</l>' AS xml)) AS C(x)
CROSS APPLY
C.x.nodes('/l') AS N(x);

Some guidelines for posting questions...

How can I access to the result of query directly with the name of the column without do a search?

hello
I have this line codes, for access to the data of one column
var oDB = xfa.sourceSet.CD;
oDB.open();
oDB.first();
var oRecord = xfa.record.CD;
oRecord.nodes.item(0).value
Is it possible access to the column data that I what with a sentence similar to this?
oRecord.nodes.item('NOMBRE').value);
I know that I can do a for and I can find the exactly row, but I don't want this solution.
Thanks

This is the solution
var oDB = xfa.sourceSet.CD;
oDB.open();
oDB.first();
var my = xfa.record.CD.resolveNode("NOMBRE");
app.alert(my.value);

Non-local searches return "null" results

I'm creating a Merged help output using AIR Browser Based Help. Said output currently has one major flaw: null search results when viewed over a network.
Now, I have read through the thread on this forum about people who initially got a "null" search result when searching a local project, but with the search subsequently working, and indeed that behavior is what I was initially seeing. That is, on my local copy of the project, my first search would return "null," and then things would work normally. However, when other users accessed my local project over our network, they never got anything other than "null" results. (Quick aside for relevant information: output was from 64-bit RH9, testing is on FIrefox 13 and I.E. 9) If I move my local copy onto the network, I am no longer successful in searching.
I have performed the suggested fix on the whfhost.js file, and while it fixed the problem locally-- I no longer see "null" results-- the problem persists for non-local access. Does anyone have any suggestions on how to fix this?
Thanks!

For the benefit of anyone else, this is the solution that was provided by Adobe.
Open the generated output folder and open whfhost.js file in the notepad application. Search for the following strings in the file. you need to replace this function
function Query()
gbAIRSearchString = goOdinHunter.strQuery;
g_CurPage = 1;
context = new HuginContext();
context.reset();
context.push( goOdinHunter.query, goOdinHunter,
processHunterResult, null );
context.resume();
With this new function
function isValidType(obj)
return ( (typeof(obj)!='undefined')&&(obj!=null) );
function Query()
gbAIRSearchString = goOdinHunter.strQuery;
g_CurPage = 1;
if (isValidType(context) && isValidType(context.aTasks))
while(context.aTasks.length>0)
context.resume();
context = new HuginContext();
context.reset();
context.push( goOdinHunter.query, goOdinHunter,
processHunterResult, null );
context.resume();
And try running the output and see if you stilll face the null search result problem
If this problem is fixed, then you can go to the C:\Program Files\Adobe\Adobe RoboHelp 8\RoboHTML\WebHelp5Ext\template_stock folder location, and make the similar changes in the whfhost.js file located in this folder.
It has worked for others so I would first check carefully that you have made the modification correctly.
If you reverse the change, are you back to square one and get a null result first time?
The modification was for RoboHelp 8 or 9. You haven't said what version you are using.
Does it fail with all browsers?

Execute oracle stored procedure from C# always returns null

Hi,
I'm trying to execute a stored procedure on oracle 9i. I'm using .Net OracleClient provider.
Apparently, I can execute the stored procedure, but it always returns null as a result (actually all the sp's I have there returns null)! I can execute any text statement against the database successfully, and also I can execute the stored procedure using Toad.
This is not the first time for me to call an oracle stored procedure, but this really is giving me a hard time! Can anyone help please?
Below are the SP, and the code used from .Net to call it, if that can help.
Oracle SP:
CREATE OR REPLACE PROCEDURE APIECARE.CHECK_EXISTENCE(l_number IN NUMBER) AS
v_status VARCHAR2(5) := NULL;
BEGIN
BEGIN
SELECT CHECK_NO_EXISTENCE(to_char(l_number))
INTO v_status
FROM DUAL;
EXCEPTION WHEN OTHERS THEN
v_status := NULL;
END;
DBMS_OUTPUT.PUT_LINE(v_status);
END CHECK_CONTRNO_EXISTENCE;
C# Code:
string connStr = "Data Source=datasource;Persist Security Info=True;User ID=user;Password=pass;Unicode=True";
OracleConnection conn = new OracleConnection(connStr);
OracleParameter param1 = new OracleParameter();
param1.ParameterName = "v_status";
param1.OracleType = OracleType.VarChar;
param1.Size = 5;
param1.Direction = ParameterDirection.Input;
OracleParameter param2 = new OracleParameter();
param2.ParameterName = "l_number";
param2.OracleType = OracleType.Number;
param2.Direction = ParameterDirection.Input;
param2.Value = 006550249;
OracleParameter[] oraParams = new OracleParameter[] { param1, param2 };
OracleCommand cmd = new OracleCommand("CHECK_EXISTENCE", conn);
cmd.CommandType = CommandType.StoredProcedure;
cmd.Parameters.AddRange(oraParams);
conn.Open();
object result = cmd.ExecuteScalar();
conn.Close();

Hi,
Does that actually execute? You're passing two parameters to a procedure that only takews 1 and get no error?
Your stored procedure doesnt return anything and has no output parameters, what are you expecting to be returned exactly?
If you're trying to access V_STATUS you'll need to declare that as either an output parameter of the procedure, or return value of the function, and also access it via accessing Param.Value, not as the result of ExecuteScalar.
See if this helps.
Cheers,
Greg

Why ResultSet getDate() method returns null when querying .csv file?

Here is the full code:
import java.sql.*;
import java.sql.Types;
import java.sql.Date;
import myjava.support.CachedRowSetMaker;
import javax.sql.rowset.CachedRowSet;
import java.io.IOException;
import java.text.SimpleDateFormat;
import java.util.Calendar;
class jdbc2{
final private String s1="SELECT top 10 [DATE], [ADJ CLOSE] FROM [vwo-1.csv]";
private ResultSet result=null;
private Connection conn=null;
public static void main(String[] args) throws SQLException{
jdbc2 db=new jdbc2();
try {
 Class.forName("sun.jdbc.odbc.JdbcOdbcDriver");
 db.conn = DriverManager.getConnection("jdbc:odbc:STOCK_DATA");
 PreparedStatement sql=db.conn.prepareStatement(db.s1);
 db.result=sql.executeQuery();
// check column names and types using the ResultSetMetaData object.
 ResultSetMetaData metaData = db.result.getMetaData();
 System.out.println("Table Name : " + metaData.getTableName(2));
 System.out.println("Field\t\tDataType");
 for (int i = 0; i < metaData.getColumnCount(); i++) {
 System.out.print(metaData.getColumnName(i + 1) + "\t");
 System.out.println(metaData.getColumnTypeName(i+1));
 System.out.print(metaData.getColumnName(1) + "\t"+metaData.getColumnName(2)+"\n");
 while (db.result.next()){
 System.out.print(db.result.getDate("DATE", Calendar.getInstance()));
 System.out.format("\t%,.2f\n", db.result.getFloat("Adj Close"));
catch (Exception e) {
System.out.println("Error: " + e.getMessage());
 finally {
 db.result.close();
 db.conn.close();
Everything works well, until getting to the block
 while (db.result.next()){
 System.out.print(db.result.getDate("DATE", Calendar.getInstance()));
 System.out.format("\t%,.2f\n", db.result.getFloat("Adj Close"));
The getDate("DATE", Calendar.getInstance())); always returns null, instead of the date value in the vwo-1.csv.
Even though I change it to
java.sql.Date d=db.result.getDate("DATE") and convert to String using .toString(), I still gets nulls. The dollar amount in "Adj Close" field is fine, no problem.
The .csv fils is downloaded from YahooFinace.
Can anyone review the code and shed some light as to what I did wrong?
Thanks alot.

Get XML Document Data step always returns NULL

Hi All,
I was hoping someone might be able to help with this.
I'm writing a holiday script, it uses XML to check whether the date is a holiday or halfday. XML below
<?xml version="1.0" encoding="ISO-8859-1"?>
<Holidays>
<Holiday Date="1/1/2012">Holiday</Holiday>
<Holiday Date="3/1/2012">Halfday</Holiday>
<Holiday Date="6/1/2012">Holiday</Holiday>
<Holiday Date="5/4/2012">Halfday</Holiday>
<Holiday Date="6/4/2012">Holiday</Holiday>
<Holiday Date="8/4/2012">Holiday</Holiday>
<Holiday Date="9/4/2012">Holiday</Holiday>
<Holiday Date="30/4/2012">Halfday</Holiday>
<Holiday Date="1/5/2012">Holiday</Holiday>
<Holiday Date="17/5/2012">Holiday</Holiday>
<Holiday Date="27/5/2012">Holiday</Holiday>
<Holiday Date="6/6/2012">Holiday</Holiday>
<Holiday Date="23/6/2012">Holiday</Holiday>
<Holiday Date="6/4/2012">Holiday</Holiday>
<Holiday Date="3/11/2012">Halfday</Holiday>
<Holiday Date="25/12/2012">Holiday</Holiday>
<Holiday Date="26/12/2012">Holiday</Holiday>
<Holiday Date="19/10/2012">Halfday</Holiday>
</Holidays>
However when I debug the script the result of the Get XML Document step always returns null.
Xpath work great in notepad++
My code is attached, anyone with any pointers?
Regards,
Andy

Your XPATH of:
"/Holidays/Holiday[@Date='+DateString+']"
Needs to be:
"/Holidays/Holiday[@Date='"+DateString+"']"
Good luck and happy scripting!

A getName method allways returns null, why?

I have an
ArrayList<Animals> array_list = new ArrayList<Animals>();
LinkedList<Animals> linked_list = new LinkedList<Animals>();
I want the getName() method in class NewListener to be accessed from the class NextListener which extends NewListener, and therefor should get access to the method. But when I run the program, it allways returns null. Why?
class NewListener implements ActionListener
 public String name;
 public void actionPerformed(ActionEvent e)
 String str_name = showInputDialog(this,"Animal name: ",null);
 if(str_name == null)
 return;
 for(int i=0; i<array_list.size(); i++)
 if(array_list.get(i).getName().equalsIgnoreCase(str_name))
 setName(str_name); // set the name with the setName() method
 linked_list.add(array_list.get(i));
 public void setName(String name)
 this.name=name;
 public String getName()
 return name; // this line returns "null"
 // return "Hello"; // this line works and returns "Hello"
 class NextListener extends NewListener implements ActionListener
 public void actionPerformed(ActionEvent e)
 try
 linked_list .removeFirst();
 }catch(NoSuchElementException er)
 System.out.println("Numerical value");
 String info = getName()+" is in line"; // Why does the getName() method in the NewListener allways return a null?
 showMessageDialog(this, info, "Notice", INFORMATION_MESSAGE);
 }{code}

Roxxor wrote:
Ok, I changed the name to private and I also tried with
public void setName(String name)
System.out.println("setting name on " + this + " to " + name); // <--- ADD THIS LINE

}and it works. So this.name SHOULD get the value of name, but it doesn�t.
So the question is: why does getName() return null?Your code is doing exactly what you're telling it to do. One or more of your assumptions is wrong. Keep digging. Add more print statements.
Above all, you must drop the attitude that "it should work." There's a bug in your code. You have to find it. Repeating the mantra "It should work" is simply going to put blinders on and make it almost impossible to find your error. Instead, you have to think, "What did I do wrong?" and "If getName is returning null, then setName was never called or was called with null."

Field.get(Object obj) now returning null with Generics (Java 5.0) ??

Hello,
I'm currently using Java 5.0 (especially for the Generics part) on a new Java/J2EE project, but having a strange issue with code working previously in a Java 1.4 project.
Below is an overriding of the toString() method provided by the Object class which allow me to view nicely in debug (dev. mode) the contents of my Transfer Objects (all the TO's must extend this ATO abstract class).
Previously this code displayed me something like:
[field1 => value1, field2 => value2] ... for a TO (sort of "Javabean") having e.g. two String fields with values initialized to "value1" (resp. "value2").
But unfortunately, this does (or seems) not to work anymore, having such display :
[field1 => null, field2 => null]I tried to debug, and the problem is that the call fieldValue = field.get(this); returns null while it should returns the actual value of the field.
I thing it it strongly related to Generics, but could not at the moment found how/why it does not work.
May someone help...? Thanks.
public abstract class ATO {
 // Reflection for field value display
 public String toString() {
 StringBuffer sb = new StringBuffer("[");
 MessageFormat mf = new MessageFormat("{0} => {1}, ");
 Field[] fields = this.getClass().getDeclaredFields();
 for (int i = 0; i < fields.length; i++) {
 Field field = (Field) fields;
String fieldName = field.getName();
Object fieldValue = null;
try {
fieldValue = field.get(this);
} catch (IllegalArgumentException e) {
} catch (IllegalAccessException e) {
mf.format(new Object[] { fieldName, fieldValue }, sb, null);
if (sb.length() > 1) {
sb.setLength(sb.length() - 2);
sb.append("]");
return sb.toString();

Field field = (Field) fields;
This cast is unnecessary.
Effectively, I haven't noticed it yet. Fixed.
} catch (IllegalArgumentException e) {
} catch (IllegalAccessException e) {
}Either the field value really is null or you are getting one of these exceptions which you are ignoring. Never write empty catch blocks.That's true, I missed something. Fixed with some code to log the eventual exceptions.
Thanks for you answer.

JNDI lookup() for sql server jdbc datasource returns null

Hi,
I am trying to use a jdbc datasource in tomcat 5 to access a sql server 2000 database. I had many common problems and did found an answer to them in the forums but I'm having one last (I hope) problem. My program is also using a mySQL datasource and it works fine.
The problem is that my lookup returns null. No exception, just null. It seems that many people had this problem but I didn't found any answer to it.
This is the lookup code:
 Context ctx = new InitialContext();
 Context envCtx = (Context)ctx.lookup("java:comp/env");
 axaptaDS = (DataSource) envCtx.lookup("jdbc/axapta"); //returns null :(This my context.xml config:
<ResourceParams name="jdbc/axapta">
 <parameter>
 <name>factory</name>
 <value>com.microsoft.jdbcx.sqlserver.SQLServerDataSourceFactory</value>
 </parameter>
 <parameter>
 <name>url</name>
 <value>jdbc:microsoft:sqlserver://hostname:1433</value>
 </parameter>
 <parameter>
 <name>password</name>
 <value>password</value>
 </parameter>
 <parameter>
 <name>maxActive</name>
 <value>4</value>
 </parameter>
 <parameter>
 <name>maxWait</name>
 <value>5000</value>
 </parameter>
 <parameter>
 <name>driverClassName</name>
 <value>com.microsoft.jdbcx.sqlserver.SQLServerDataSource</value>
 </parameter>
 <parameter>
 <name>username</name>
 <value>username</value>
 </parameter>
 <parameter>
 <name>maxIdle</name>
 <value>2</value>
 </parameter>
</ResourceParams>And I also put these lines in my web.xml file:
<resource-ref id="ResourceRef_1092254277306">
 <res-ref-name>jdbc/axapta</res-ref-name>
 <res-type>javax.sql.DataSource</res-type>
 <res-auth>Container</res-auth>
 <res-sharing-scope>Shareable</res-sharing-scope>
</resource-ref>Thanks for helping!

I finally found a remedy to this problem:
specify this driver instead and remove the entry about the factory in the context's .xml file:
com.microsoft.jdbc.sqlserver.SQLServerDriver

Binding for "File Content Repository Path" is returning null value

I have created a data control for file based content repository based on an existing file system path. *But when this data contol is invoked the command "#{bindings['getURI_returnURI'].inputValue}" is returning null.*+
Please advice what are possible scenarios. I have performed the following
#1. Create a file system folder in windows XP named "C:\CPContentRepository" and add some html pages into this folder.
#2. Create a "content" project in the application.
#3. Create a "Content Repository Data Control" named "CPFileContentRepository". Repository Type : "File System", Base Path : "C:\CPContentRepository". Test & Registration is successful.
#4. Add a "panel horizontal" into jsf jsp "ContentTest" page & drap-dop data control "CPFileContentRepository--> getURI(String)--> Return--> URI". select return type as "ADF Output Text".
#5. Edit Authorization of the "ContentTest" page definition for "View --> anyone".
#6. Edit Authorization of the "ContentTest" page definition bindings "getURI" for "Invoke --> anyone".
#7. Run the "ContentTest" page. The output for the page is empty.

Vikki

There're two major problems in your code. One you have used different names to get your parameters like in your first jsp they're like
<input type="text" name="did" size="20" 
 
Name 
<input type="text" name="name" size="20">
 
Specialist In
<input type="text" name="specialist" size="20">
 
Address
<input type="text" name="address" size="20">
 
Phone no.
<input type="text" name="phno" size="20">
 but when you're getting you're doing it like this
String name = request.getParameter("name");
 String did = request.getString("did");
 String add = request.getParameter("add");
 String specilist = request.getParameter("specilist");
 String phno = request.getParameter("phno");First get them with same name as you have them in your first jsp. another thing in that you're not used form tag in write way... You have created submit button in some other form
and when you're pressing submit button actully you're submitting only that form value and your form1 is not submitted that's why you're getting null values for
those parameters you're getting with right name

Java 7 u45 System.getProperty returns null

After upgrade to u45, our web launch application stopped working. it failed at System.getProperty("myproperty").
"myproperty" is defined as a
<resources>
<j2se version="1.6+" initial-heap-size="64m" max-heap-size="256m"/>
 <jar href="nms_wsclient.jar" download="eager" main="true"/>
 <jar href="commons-httpclient.jar" download="eager"/>
 <jar href="commons-codec.jar" download="eager"/>
 <jar href="commons-logging.jar" download="eager"/>
 <jar href="log4j.jar" download="eager"/>
 <property name="myproperty" value="http://138.120.128.94:8085/"/>
 </resources>
with older version java ,System.getProperty("myproperty") works fine to return the value, but with u45 it returned null.
Does anyone have the same problem? any idea how to fix it or work around it?
Thanks,
Zhongyao

So did you succeed with the jnlp template ?
After frustrating hours of that information useless JNLPSigningException trial & error, It seems that as :
1. You can't make the j2se version variable
2. You can't have your own variable property/values
I've opened a bug report...
The documentation is atrocious, with a vague "we reserve the right to blacklist variable elements, but we will never say which ones".
The JNLP example in the various example is a joke - Its a hello world jnlp, not a real world one.
The JNLPSigningException must have been written my the same guys at Microsoft that did the "An Unknown Error As Occurred".
I've had to clear the cache at every test, seems that the JNLP Template check didn't get the new updated JNLP from the web server.
/rant over
I think I'll try to bypass that JNLP property mess and get javaws to download my own "jnlp name".xml.config...

Oracle Text : type of the results.

In v2, in the "custom search" portlet, I chose to display the results of "elements" type.
But it returns both elements and portlets. Portlets are not compulsory viewable if one clik on in in the result page.
How can I only return "true" elements (documents) and not portlets ?

These are two slightly different issues
In v2, in the "custom search" portlet, I chose to display the results of "elements" type.
But it returns both elements and portlets. Portlets are not compulsory viewable if one clik on in in the result page.
How can I only return "true" elements (documents) and not portlets ? I am not too clear on what you are refering to when you say you chose to display the results of 'Elements' types.
If you wish a search to only return documents (in this sence i mean files) you can add the 'Base Item Type' attribute as search criteria and chose the 'File' value from the LOV. If you do not wish the end users of the search form to know you are restricting the search to just files you can hide this attribute and not display it on the submission form.
I have the same issue. the release 2 custom search portal has an option
to limit the result type to page. But, if I have a simple text item with some content containing the words
"jey is testing" and If I search for "jey" it doesn't return any pages. But, if I change the result type to
item it returns the item. I want to mimick a std web search where users search on content and get links to
pages with content.
pls help,
jey If you set a portlet to return 'Items' then the search will return the actual items which match the search terms as the search results.
If you set a portlet to return 'Pages' then the search will return any pages whose title, description etc which match the search terms not those pages whose content contains the search terms.
However you can customize the attributes displayed with search results to get the list similar to what you require. Set a results portlet to return items (as its the items which will match the search criteria) and select 'Page' and 'Blank Line' attributes as the 'Search Results Attributes'. When you perform a search the results will be a list of pages on which the search result items reside.
Note: The listed pages may not be distinct. If more that one item resides on the same page which match the search criteria, you will get multiple lines displaying the same page. This is because the search actually returns 2 hits and as you are just displaying the page name it will appear as if they are duplicate results. Therefore you may want to include the attribute 'Display Name' in order to clarify that these are different items on the same page.

Target Unreachable, 'firstField' returned null

Hi everybody!
Before I begin, I'm sorry but my english is bad.
I'm using JDeveloper 11.1.1.3 to develop an application.
My application is linked with database.
I created a Train with 2 pages: In the first, you can fill out the form. And in the second, we see the data filled
in the first, and there you can click a button to submit the form.
Then I create a method in my class "TestServiceImpl.java" which is the method of application module. This method
add a new row in a table in the database.
And finally, I'd drag and drop this method in my "confirmationPage". The value of each field of this method is that
of the corresponding fields the first page where the form was completed (example: # {} backingBeanScope.backing_firstPage.firstField.value).
I have hidden filds so they are not visible to the user, and I left the button in this method visible (to create item).
When I run the application, I fill the fields in the form, I click Next, I preview my form;
BUT when I click on the button (which is the method that I have hidden filelds), I have the following error:
Target Unreachable, 'firstField' returned null
Any help is welcome.
Thank's

Yes, but it still seems that the value is null when the method attempts to retrieve it.
Unless there is some other problem in your page or the bindings.
If you were to try using pageFlowScope parameters, all that you would have to do would be to set the component values in the virst page equal to the pageFlowScope parameter it corresponds to
something like this:
<af:inputText id="var1"/>
value="#{pageFlowScope.variable1}"
/>then you could get the values in the second page using #{pageFlowScope.variable1}.

The result of a direct action returned NULL/nil.
