managed bean

[micuentadecasa]

hi, i am a newbie and im doing managed beans, but the only way i know its opening the .xml file and doing it one each time, in my projects use to be so much classes so this way its so hard, ive seen the @managedbean directive but i cant do it to work, there is a way to declare managed beans to use them in EL but without declaring them in the .xml file?

Maybe JBoss Seam is what you are looking for. See http://www.seamframework.org/
There you can use @Name annotation in Java classes.

i tried it, but when i go to visual page and try to bind a property in my class with the visual editor i see:

1. it appears as a variable not a bean or managed bean
2. i can only asign the class , not a property

it seems that its a bug in Edit/binding dialog, that with managed beans recognized them as objects and if its a variable i does not recognized it as object.
but in intellisense in EL it works...
