Question

This question already has answers here:
Identifying and solving javax.el.PropertyNotFoundException: Target Unreachable
(18 answers)
Closed 4 years ago.
I'm on the verge of going crazy.
My goal was to change JSF-Managed-Beans to CDI-Managed-Beans.
I thought it was just changing Annotations. It wasn't.
I've read a lot - and more. But I just can not find my mistake.
I get this Exception:
javax.faces.FacesException: javax.el.PropertyNotFoundException: //C:/01_java/ws_bsp/bsp/bsp-web/src/main/webapp/jsf/allgemein/login.xhtml #29,86 value="#{logInOutController.username}": Target Unreachable, identifier 'logInOutController' resolved to null

Controller:
package xxx.yyy.controller;
import javax.enterprise.context.RequestScoped;
import javax.inject.Inject;
import javax.inject.Named;
import xxx.yyy.util.MessageHelper;
import xxx.yyy.util.PropertiesUtil;
#Named
#RequestScoped
public class LogInOutController {
#Inject
private PropertiesUtil propertiesUtil;
private String username;
private String password;
private String test = "test";
public String login() {
if (username.equals("bsp") && password.equals("bsp")) {

}

public void setTest(String test) {

}
}
If that is not enough or more is needed, please let me know.
I would be overjoyed if someone could help me.
Thanks in advance

Answer 1

I finally found the reason it didn't work.
I had to change the publishing mode of the WebLogic Server:
Right Click on Server -> Properties -> WebLogic -> Publishing -> Publish as an exploded archive
