About managed beans

Question

Dear Helper,
I have a bean called UserBean.java and it has some properties like userId, userName, password and etc.
The problem starts when i want to bind the JSF components like InputText and OutputText to the UserBean properties, the IDE automatically bind these components to the backing bean of the page, and when i modify the code in the source the IDE again recreate the modified line and bind it to its coresponded property in the backing bean.
like the following
<h:form binding="#{login.form1}" id="form1">
                    <h:outputText binding="#{login.outputText1}" id="outputText1" style="left: 312px; top: 216px; position: absolute" value="UserID:"/>
                    <h:inputText binding="#{test.UserBean.userID}" id="textField1" style="left: 360px; top: 216px; position: absolute" value="#{test.UserBean.userName}"/>
                   <h:commandButton action="Login" binding="#{test.UserBean.action}" id="button1" style="left: 360px; top: 264px; position: absolute" value="Submit"/>                
<h:inputText binding="#{login.textField1}" id="textField1"/>
                    <h:commandButton binding="#{login.button1}" id="button1"/>
                </h:form>I don't want the IDE to create a Page bean for each jsp page

Hi Ayman,
The Page bean Page1.java is an automatically created Managed bean. This contains the properties for the components you are using in the JSP page. This managed bean allows you to add code like the event handler methods or user defined initialization statements. This page bean is of request scope. So as is evident it is necesasry to have the page bean.
I hope this helps.
Cheers :-)
