Add Managed Bean Dialog Box

See Also

A JSF managed bean, or "backing bean" is a Java class that adheres to JavaBean conventions, and is associated with UI components used in a page. A managed bean defines UI component properties, each of which is bound to either a component's value or a component instance. A managed bean can also define methods that perform functions associated with a component, including validation, event handling, and navigation processing.

You arrive at this dialog box by right-clicking in a Faces configuration file (faces-config.xml) and choosing Insert > Managed Bean. The purpose of the dialog is to register an existing JSF managed bean with the application by adding an entry to the Faces configuration file.

JSF 2.0 applications do not require the faces-config.xml file. You can equally declare a managed bean using the @ManagedBean annotation directly within the managed bean class.
