In-Depth Information
A quick way to add an instance variable and the corresponding getter and
setter methods is to hit the "insert code" keyboard shortcut (
Alt+Insert
),
then select
Add Property...
from the resulting pop-up menu.
Once we have added the property to our managed bean, we can bind our text field
to it by right-clicking on it on the design window and selecting
Bind To Data...
.
Binding the text field to a managed bean property results in the property being
automatically updated with the user-entered data in the field. Additionally when the
page is loaded the value of the text field is populated with the value of the managed
bean property.
