Question

I have a session bean FooSessionBean which has a boolean property: visible.

I want to change the value of the visible property from my FooRequestBean. Is there any way to do this, other than changing the scope of FooRequestBean to session instead of request (to be able to inject FooSessionBean into my FooRequestBean)?

Thanks in advance.

Ps: I’m using JSF 1.2

Answer 1

Create a FooSessionBean property (getter/setter) in FooRequestBean and inject it using the faces-config.xml:

<managed-bean>
  <managed-bean-name>fooRequestBeanName</managed-bean-name>
  <managed-bean-class>foo.FooRequestBean</managed-bean-class>
  <managed-bean-scope>request</managed-bean-scope>
  <managed-property>
    <property-name>fooSessionBeanPropName</property-name>
    <property-class>foo.FooSessionBean</property-class>
    <value>#{sessionScope.fooSessionBeanName}</value> 
  </managed-property>
 //etc
