Chapter 3: Using Java Managed Beans

This chapter shows you how to create a Java managed bean, create a Web page that invokes it, and how to test the Web page by running it on a server.

The JavaServer Faces (JSF) framework supports the Model-View-Controller (MVC) design paradigm. It allows you to create managed beans, a reusable software component for business objects whose properties are displayed on Web pages, based on Java classes. You can use value binding to bind bean properties and business logic to the user interface components of the JSP page.
