5. Check the Generate Class If It Does Not Exist opion and then click on the
OK buton.
6. Now the employeeBean name is added to the managed bean list in the
Select Method dialog.
7. Add a method named prepageEmployeeQuery() in the method secion
and click on OK .
8. Now the EmployeeBean.java will be opened with the prepageEmployeeQuery()
method.
9. Inside the method, change the return type to String and then just type
return "employee";
10. Now change the name of the method call acivity to prepageEmployeeQuery .
This is opional, but it is a standard to have the same name as the method for the
method call acivity.

prepageEmployeeQuery() method from the Java class.
The green circular border for the activity indicates that the activity is
the default activity. This can be toggled by right-clicking on the task

We have now created the task low with a method call acivity that calls a method from
EmployeeBean.java . The prepageEmployeeQuery() method returns a string variable
as employee .
We have kept the scope of the managed bean as pageflowScope , which means that the
bean is visible only within createEmployeeFlow .
