New JSF Managed Bean Wizard: Name and Location
See Also
JSF managed beans are JavaBean components that are managed by a JSF implementation.
A JSF managed bean describes how a bean is created and managed.
The New JSF Managed Bean wizard creates a new JSF managed bean.
You open the New JSF Managed Bean wizard by right-clicking a web application,
choosing New > Other and selecting JSF Managed Bean from the Java Server Faces category.
In the Name and Location page, you have to set the following properties:
- Class Name. Specifies the JSF managed bean class name.
- Project. Specifies the project in which the JSF managed bean will be located.
- Location. Specifies a folder to house the JSF managed bean.
- Package. Specifies a package within the location to house the JSF managed bean.
- Created File. Specifies the file of the new JSF managed bean.
- Configuration File. Specifies the JSF configuration file. If none exists, you cannot create
a JSF managed bean. To create a JSF configuration file quickly and efficiently, right-click the project node, choose Properties
and use the Frameworks panel. Not only does this provide you with a JSF configuration file, but you also
get the JSF 1.1 libraries and a welcomeJSF.jsp file.
- Scope. Sets the scope of the JSF managed bean. Use the drop down list to set the scope to one of the following:
- request. Request scope contains data specific to an individual server request, and is discarded when the service method returns. This is the most common use of scope in web applications, and the IDE default to this setting.
- session. Session scope contains data specific to a user session.
- application. Application scope contains data for an entire web application.
- none. No scope is selected.
- Bean Description. Sets a description for the JSF managed bean.
