Annotation Type ManagedBean
-
Deprecated.This has been replaced by the Managed Beans specification in general and specifically the dependency injection, scopes and naming from the CDI specification. Note that the eager attribute for application scoped beans is replaced specifically by observing thejavax.enterprise.context.Initialized
event forjavax.enterprise.context.ApplicationScoped
. See 6.7.3 of the CDI spec for further details.
@Retention(RUNTIME) @Target(TYPE) @Inherited @Deprecated public @interface ManagedBean
The presence of this annotation on a class automatically registers the class with the runtime as a managed bean class. Classes must be scanned for the presence of this annotation at application startup, before any requests have been serviced.
The value of the
name()
attribute is taken to be the managed-bean-name. If the value of the name attribute is unspecified or is the emptyString
, the managed-bean-name is derived from taking the unqualified class name portion of the fully qualified class name and converting the first character to lower case. For example, if theManagedBean
annotation is on a class with the fully qualified class namecom.foo.Bean
, and there is no name attribute on the annotation, the managed-bean-name is taken to bebean
. The fully qualified class name of the class to which this annotation is attached is taken to be the managed-bean-class.The scope of the managed bean is declared using one of
NoneScoped
,RequestScoped
,ViewScoped
,SessionScoped
,ApplicationScoped
, orCustomScoped
annotations. If the scope annotations are omitted, the bean must be handled as if theRequestScoped
annotation is present.If the value of the
eager()
attribute istrue
, and themanaged-bean-scope
value is "application", the runtime must instantiate this class when the application starts. This instantiation and storing of the instance must happen before any requests are serviced. If eager is unspecified orfalse
, or themanaged-bean-scope
is something other than "application", the default "lazy" instantiation and scoped storage of the managed bean happens.When the runtime processes this annotation, if a managed bean exists whose name is equal to the derived managed-bean-name, a
FacesException
must be thrown and the application must not be placed in service.A class tagged with this annotation must have a public zero-argument constructor. If such a constructor is not defined on the class, a
FacesException
must be thrown and the application must not be placed in service.- Since:
