JSF - Managed Beans instantiate Beans?

Question

Hi, I�m new in JSF. I�d like to know if there is any way to configure in faces-config.xml a way to make a bean to be instantiate within do it explicity in the managed bean class.
Let me explain better, I have a form with two fields, login and password. I have a Bean called "User", with this two attributes and others. When I click on the commandButton, a method in the managed ben is called. What a wanna know is: do I have to declare the same bean�s attributes in the managed bean, generating gets and setters methods or there is a way to do this in the faces-config.xml?
Thanks.

I guess what you want to do is something like as follows:
(jsp file)<h:inputText value="#{managedBean.user.login}"/>(faces-config.xml)    <managed-bean>
        <managed-bean-name>managedBean</managed-bean-name>
        <managed-bean-class>ManagedBean</managed-bean-class>
        <managed-bean-scope>session</managed-bean-scope>
        <managed-property>
            <property-name>user</property-name>
            <value>#{userBean}</value>
        </managed-property>
    </managed-bean>
    <managed-bean>
        <managed-bean-name>userBean</managed-bean-name>
        <managed-bean-class>User</managed-bean-class>
        <managed-bean-scope>none</managed-bean-scope>
    </managed-bean>
