JSF Standard Managed Bean Annotations

Designer 10.7 | webMethods CAF and OpenUI Development | Working with Facelets | Java Annotations in CAF and webMethods OpenUI Applications | JSF Standard Managed Bean Annotations

The JSR-344 JavaServer Faces standard defines a set of annotations in the javax.faces.bean package that can be used to declare and configure managed beans directly in a Java class. This is an alternative to declaring the same information in the WEB-INF/faces-config.xml file of your Composite Application Framework (CAF) application. Pertinent code is highlighted in bold.

Example:

package caf.war.testapp1.test1;

import javax.faces.bean.ManagedBean;

import javax.faces.bean.SessionScoped;

/**
* Sample that demonstrates using the ManagedBean annotations
* to declare a managed bean
*/

@ManagedBean(name = "TestBean")

@SessionScoped

public class TestBean extends com.webmethods.caf.faces.bean.BaseFacesSessionBean {

    /**
     * Override this method to release any resources associated with this
       session.
     * Please note, the FacesContext is not valid for this function.
     */
    protected void release() {

    };
}
