Thanks for your super quick response. Well, that document says that the BackingBeans belong into the presentation tier. But as far as I understand Backing Beans, they are the Model of the JSF MVC. Am I wrong? If I am not too far off - what would be the responsibility of the Business Objects? In many cases applications just take data from a user or present data to a user. In that case, the business tier would be pretty empty as it just passes data from the frontend to the backend - and vice versa. Sorry. I am quite confused right now. Matt
