I went to the link you gave, but I got a "page not found" error. Is that link still valid?
And, I know I'm missing something here, but don't most people initialize their backing beans just by using lazy fetches on their getters? Either that, of course, or having some action initialize them? I'll definitely look into shale, though. It sounds interesting. - Brendan -----Original Message----- From: Sean Schofield [mailto:[EMAIL PROTECTED] Sent: Wednesday, August 31, 2005 7:35 AM To: MyFaces Discussion Subject: Re: best way to initialize BackingBean? I'm using Shale for this. This is one of the specific things that Shale is designed to give you. And yes, you can use with either the RI or MyFaces (basically any JSF implementation.) I use it with MyFaces of course ;-) There is a nice overview on the Struts website now (http://struts.apache.org/shale.) Check out the javadocs as well since there is some good summary documentation in there as well. sean On 8/31/05, Jeff Cooper <[EMAIL PROTECTED]> wrote: > I'm new to JSF, so maybe this isn't best way.
