can bean extends someone?

[subaochen]

hi,

I have bean like this:

public class A {
   protected String a;
   public void setA(String a){
        this.a = a;
    }
    
    public void getA(){
        return this.a;
    }
}

@Named
public class BeanB entends A {
}

But when I use beanB in EL like this:

<h:outputText value="#{beanB.a}"/>

will generate error message said that can not find property a in beanB.

Any suggestions? Thanks in advance!

sorry, BeanB should be:

@Named
@Stateful
@RequestScoped
public class BeanB extends A {
}

Continue: if remove @Stateful from class BeanB defination, then EL works well.

I's sorry, I have tried again, it work just well!
