Bean Definitions

• Bean definitions are also specified in faces-config.xml

• For login example:

     <managed-bean> 
        <managed-bean-name>user</managed-bean-name>
        <managed-bean-class>com.corejsf.UserBean</managed-bean-class> 
        <managed-bean-scope>session</managed-bean-scope> 
     </managed-bean>
  

• Now the bean name user can be used in the attributes of JSF user interface components

• Session scope means bean object is available for one user across multiple pages

• Different users of web app have different instances of bean
