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 empty String
, 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 the ManagedBean
annotation is on
a class with the fully qualified class name com.foo.Bean
, and
there is no
name attribute on the annotation, the
managed-bean-name is taken to be bean
. 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
, or CustomScoped
annotations. If the scope annotations are omitted, the bean must be handled
as if the RequestScoped
annotation is present.
If the value of the eager()
attribute is true
, and the
managed-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 or false
, or the
managed-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.
