Problem passing value from Visual force to APEX
I am having a challenge passing a value selected/entered on a visual force page to the apex controller. This should just work, but for some reason it is not working. The value in the controller always reverts to the original value. Can you find the error in my code?
<apex:page standardStylesheets="false" controller="testApplyController" showHeader="false" action="{!contactx}">
<html lang="en" xmlns="http://www.w3.org/1999/xhtml">

<body>
<div class="ctr">

Controller
public class testApplyController {
Public Contact Contacty {get;set;}
Public Contact Contact {get;set;}
Public Contact Contactx {get;set;}
public Integer selectedValue{get;set;}
Public testApplyController(){
}
public Contact GetContactx () {
Return Contactx;
}
public void SetContactx () {
system.debug('>>>>>>'+contactx);
Contactx = contactx;
}
Public void Contactx(){
system.debug('---conx---'+contactx);
If (Contactx ==null){
String email = 'kevin@caberu.be';
Contactx = myutil.getContact(email); //This does a lookup of a record using myutil. This works fine.
}
else {
String email=Contactx.email;
system.debug('-----'+Contactx.Area_of_Activity_Signup__c);
Contactx = myutil.getContact(email);
}
}
// UPDATE CONTACT INFO
Public void UpdateContact() {
system.debug('---con----'+contactx.Area_of_Activity_Signup__c+contactx.firstname+contactx.MailingCountry);
Contactx();
//Contactx= contact;
System.Debug(contactx.Area_of_Activity_Signup__c); //Always reverts to the original value
System.Debug(contactx.firstname);
System.Debug(contactx.MailingCountry); //Always reverts to the original value
Update Contactx;
//Apply1();
//Return null;
}
}
I had <apex:form> in two places. One covering the inputs and one covering the button. Apparently they should both be within the same <apex:form>.
This is why everyone was stumped. The code was right, the HTML was not.
Thanks for your input. :-)

On the page load action you have {!contactx()}, try changing it to {!Contactx()}.
Hope it solves the issue

No this does not change it. (by the way, no need for the "()" ).
My issue is not loading the data into the Contactx variable in the first place, the problem is that the value does not change and go back into the variable when I change the value on the Visual Force pge.
ANY OTHER IDEAS OUT THERE?
You don't need to declare your method GetContactx and SetContactx as you have already declared your variable as getter;setter
Your SetContactx method is the problem causing the old value to be set when you are changing the values.
Try with below code:
public class testApplyController { Public Contact Contacty {get;set;} //Public Contact Contact {get;set;} Public Contact Contactx {get;set;} public Integer selectedValue{get;set;} Public testApplyController(){ contactY = new Contact(); contactX = new Contact(); } /* public Contact GetContactx () { Return Contactx; } public void SetContactx () { system.debug('>>>>>>'+contactx); Contactx = contactx; } */ Public void Contactx(){ system.debug('---conx---'+contactx); If (Contactx ==null){ String email = 'kevin@caberu.be'; Contactx = myutil.getContact(email); //This does a lookup of a record using myutil. This works fine. } else { String email=Contactx.email; system.debug('-----'+Contactx.Area_of_Activity_Signup__c); Contactx = myutil.getContact(email); } } // UPDATE CONTACT INFO Public void UpdateContact() { system.debug('---con----'+contactx.Area_of_Activity_Signup__c+contactx.firstname+contactx.MailingCountry); Contactx(); //Contactx= contact; System.Debug(contactx.Area_of_Activity_Signup__c); //Always reverts to the original value System.Debug(contactx.firstname); System.Debug(contactx.MailingCountry); //Always reverts to the original value Update Contactx; //Apply1(); //Return null; } }Found anything on this yet?
