Hello, I created a simple HtmlInputText

  <h:inputText binding="#{IndexBean.objUIInput}" />

Then in my managed bean, it is :-

   private   UIInput objUIInput;

    public UIInput getObjUIInput() {
        objUIInput.setValue("laala");
        return objUIInput;
    }

    public void setObjUIInput(UIInput objUIInput) {
        System.out.println("Set!!");
        this.objUIInput = objUIInput;
    }

But i always get NullpointerException. Do i need to do anything extra on my JSF page? like we do jsp:usebean setproperty? Please help me.
