I am working on jSF and i am using RAD 6,and I have one doubt.This is my faces config file.
<managed-bean>
<description>The one and only HelloBean.</description>
<managed-bean-name>helloBean</managed-bean-name>
<managed-bean-class>com.HelloBean</managed-bean-class>
<managed-bean-scope>session</managed-bean-scope>
</managed-bean>
<navigation-rule>
<description>Navigation from the hello page.</description>
<from-view-id>/hello.jsp</from-view-id>
<navigation-case>
<from-outcome>success</from-outcome>
<to-view-id>/goodbye.jsp</to-view-id>
</navigation-case>
</navigation-rule>
<managed-bean>
<managed-bean-name>pc_Myjsp</managed-bean-name>
<managed-bean-class>pagecode.Myjsp</managed-bean-class>
<managed-bean-scope>request</managed-bean-scope>
</managed-bean>
<managed-bean>
<managed-bean-name>pc_Hello</managed-bean-name>
<managed-bean-class>pagecode.Hello</managed-bean-class>
<managed-bean-scope>request</managed-bean-scope>
</managed-bean>
<managed-bean>
<managed-bean-name>pc_Goodbye</managed-bean-name>
<managed-bean-class>pagecode.Goodbye</managed-bean-class>
<managed-bean-scope>request</managed-bean-scope>
</managed-bean>
The managed-bean helloBean is added by me for my application,and the other 2 which are generated by the application itself,i.e they are backing beans.How one can differentiate these files by looking at the faces config file..or is there any way to keep these in different files. or how do you manage in faces config. please reply

Backing beans are managed beans. A backing bean is a bean that's referenced in a JSF page definition.

A Managed bean is any JavaBean that's managed by the JSF framework. And the way you tell JSF to manage a bean is to define it in either faces-config.xml or a similar file(s) designated by you in your webapp's web.xml file according to JSF's rules for such definitions.

You can have your JSF application read from separate faces-config files by entering their names in the deployment descriptor:




I've seen big appliations separate managed beans and navigation rules into separate files just to manage them a bit easier.
