JSF 2.0 implementing a search function - help plz

[jarslev@gmail.com]

Hi, I have been trying to implement a search function in the project I'm currently working on which is very similar to this
http://netbeans.org/kb/docs/web/jsf20-crud.html

Web App with Java Server Faces Framework.
I have generated entity classes from the MySQL database that I'm using. From those entity classes I have generated the JSF pages.
I just can't get a search feature to work (inputText+submit button).
I have tried to make a managedBean, but can't get any further.

Am I doing it the right way and/or what am I doing wrong?

Any links/suggestions would be very appreciated.

What doesn't work? Is your managed bean not working? When you run in
the debug mode is the action method of your submit button being called?

I am a bit unsure what to use of all the methods.

Putting either a person id or name as the search value. then I should have a method that that/those values with database tables and return the persons info if there are.
Is that close to what I should do with the managed bean?

Then the action on the button inside the search form, should call that method right?

I will try post some of the code....
