RE: managed properties

[Dhananjay Prasanna]

Actually, you're working too hard.  Just use:     <value>#{businessDelegate}</value>   JSF IoC container is not that powerful, I prefer to use Spring and then use the Spring delegating variable resolver. You could also write your own JSF variable resolver and then manage the businessDelegate w/o putting it into scope. You can accomplish that with standard managed beans my setting the <managed-bean-scope> on the "businessDelegate" bean to be "none".  This is like the create-every-time mode of Spring ... you always get a new instance each time the _expression_ is evaluated, and it is never placed into any scope. Craig   Thanks craig & rick, As a follow up, is there any way to organize namespaces in managed-bean-names? Apart from using underscores can I do something like:   <managed-bean-name>delegates.businessDelegate</managed-bean-name>     Im assuming the JSF EL will try to read that as:   delegate.getBusinessDelegate()   Any better way around that than really long names?   Dhanji.
