    Default Cannot set class fields using textInput

    when the validation function for a user's login runs, the username and password fields are null. i have written the code according to many examples that i have seen on the internet. please help me understand why these fields are not being set.

    also, when i run this app in a browser, the fields literally say #{Login.username}, and #{Login.password} instead of being blank like in other people's examples and tutorials. i assume it is a symptom of the problem here.

    thanks in advance
