Backing beans are JavaBeans components which are associated with UI components. The properties and associated methods (validation, event handling and navigation processing) of UI components are defined in backing beans.
A typical JavaServer Faces application includes one or more backing beans. In the example files there are three backing beans defined, at the following location:
~/hippo-site-toolkit/jsf-example-app/src/main/java/nl/hippo/client/jsfexample
Example backing beans:
These backing beans are simple backing beans. They only implement a reference to dasl queries, which are used to determine the structure of the menu for the corresponding components. You can expand their functionality by implementing your own methods and properties.
