Unable to capture the value

Question

Hi,
the 2 items are like
<af:inputText label="User"
binding="#{backingBeanScope.backing_Login4.it1}"
id="it1"/>
<af:inputText label="Password"
binding="#{backingBeanScope.backing_Login4.it2}"
id="it2" secret="true"/>
why can't I capture their values by these?
loc_it1 = (String)this.currRec.getAttribute("it1");
loc_it2 = (String)this.currRec.getAttribute("it2");
as I check their values are really "null"

Here is the mananged bean
package view.backing;
public class Login4 {
private RichPanelStretchLayout psl1;
private RichForm f1;
private RichDocument d1;
private RichPanelBox pb1;
private RichPanelFormLayout pfl1;
private RichPanelFormLayout pfl2;
private RichPanelGroupLayout pgl1;
private RichPanelFormLayout pfl3;
private RichSpacer s1;
private RichInputText it1;
private RichSpacer s2;
private RichInputText it2;
private RichSpacer s3;
private RichPanelGroupLayout pgl2;
private RichCommandButton cb1;
private ViewRowImpl currRec;
private String loc_it1, loc_it2;
private RichCommandButton cb2;
private RichCommandButton cb3;
public void ChkConn() {
try {
DriverManager.registerDriver(new oracle.jdbc.driver.OracleDriver());
loc_it1=this.getIt1().getValue().toString();
loc_it2=this.getIt2().getValue().toString();
String url = ...
Connection conn =
DriverManager.getConnection(url, loc_it1, loc_it2);
Statement stmt=conn.createStatement();
ResultSet rs=stmt.executeQuery("select sysdate from dual");
if (rs.getRow()==0) {
conn.close();
} catch (Exception e) {
there is no exception happened when running the app but I captured that their values r null
