Im using Netbeans 8, and JSF 2.2 I know there are many other questions with the same title, but none of them worked.
I want to share my experience with this Exception. My JSF 2.2 application worked fine with WildFly 8.0, but one time, when I started server, i got this "Target Unreacheable" exception. Actually, there was no problem with JSF annotations or tags.
Only thing I had to do was cleaning the project. After this operation, my app is working fine again.
I hope this will help someone!
The problem seems related to the double configuration of your managed bean with the same name:
@ManagedBean
and @SessionScoped
annotations on the class called user
.<managed-bean>
node called User
.You should have a single configuration per managed bean i.e. the name. In this case, since you basically have the same managed bean configured twice, just remove one of the configurations. I recommend removing the XML configuration since the annotation configuration is more readable and understandable.
