javax.faces.bean? (Attn: Jan Kees)
Hi,
The JSF 2.0 sample I'm trying to get working annotates its bean with
@javax.faces.bean.ManagedBean, among other things. I noticed that JK
dropped in annotations for javax.faces.bean, but I'm wondering where
these annotations are defined. They certainly aren't listed in the
"final" Javadocs dated 6/26, so what gives? I pulled this sample from
Mojarra's official RI binary zip, so I assume that this wasn't an
accident, but I'm baffled as to why I can't find documentation on
them.
Can anyone shed some light on this situation?
Thanks,
Curtiss Howard

The @javax.faces.bean.ManagedBean annotation is used for defining
managed beans without XML, but it looks like you're right. It's not in
the PDF. However, the other annotations are there. And the
@ManagedBean is in the JavaDocs.
It looks like an inconsistency between spec and JavaDocs...
I'll post it on the JSR-314 mailinglist.

Jan-Kees

Thanks guys, I'd been completely ignoring that "managed-bean-javadocs"
directory all this time. :D

Yup,
The actual text from the all classe description (the page no one ever read
like the package description one) is:
'*These javadoc files constitute the “Faces Managed Bean Annotation
Specification for Containers Conforming to Servlet 2.5 and Beyond”*
*At the time of this writing, a forthcoming JCP effort is being planned to
extract the specification for managed beans from JSF and place it into its
own specification. To account for this effort and to avoid introducing
classes into JSF 2.0 that would have to be deprecated when this effort is
complete, implementations of JSF 2.0 are not required to implement the
“Faces Managed Bean Annotation Specification for Containers Conforming to
Servlet 2.5”. However, JSF implementations are strongly encouraged to
implement this specification, as it provides significant improvements in
ease of use.*
*The annotations must be processed as specified in section JSF.11.5.1.'*

Aha, was that the reason? I know the first commit was in "model", but
I saw some time ago they were moved to "bean".
The bean package sounds better to me anyway. Model contains the DataModels...

Hi,
They used to be under javax.faces.model. However, due to overlap with
JSR-299 they were moved to javax.faces.bean, see the companion JavaDoc
(under \managed-bean-javadocs).
