#{name_of managed_bean.property}
Properties can have sub-properties, in which case a binding expression might have a more complex form, such as this:
#{name_of managed_bean.property.subproperty1.subproperty2}

4. In the Expression Binding wizard, expand the Page Bean node, select the data to bind to the control, and then click OK.
