Define Managed Beans

To make use of our classes as JSF managed beans, we need to declare them in our faces-config.xml file. We plan to have two counters: an application-scoped counter based on the ApplicationCounter class and a session-scoped counter based on our basic Counter class. So we need to define two JSF managed beans.

Create a file called faces-config.xml by typing or copying the following into your editor:

<?xml version='1.0' encoding='UTF-8'?>
 

 
<faces-config>
 

 
    <managed-bean>
 
        <description>An application-scoped counter.</description>
 
        <managed-bean-name>applicationCounter</managed-bean-name>
 
        <managed-bean-class>
 
            org.icefaces.tutorial.easyajaxpush.ApplicationCounter
 
        </managed-bean-class>
 
        <managed-bean-scope>application</managed-bean-scope>
 
    </managed-bean>
 

 
    <managed-bean>
 
        <description>A session-scoped counter.</description>
 
        <managed-bean-name>sessionCounter</managed-bean-name>
 
        <managed-bean-class>
 
            org.icefaces.tutorial.easyajaxpush.Counter
 
        </managed-bean-class>
 
        <managed-bean-scope>session</managed-bean-scope>
 
    </managed-bean>
 

 
</faces-config>
