Hi Mario. Thanks for you answer! It has been very insightful. Best practices are made to be used and if new ones are created, new use will be made :-) Thank you again. Regards, Renato.

Backing-Beans are just a virtual concept, you're perfectly able to write a JSF application without any declared backing bean, but with just beans floating around somewhere and are just used on the page. And I can imagine that in some parts it is fine to do so, for example to feed a f:selectItems with always the same data in your pages all around. So, not using a backing bean is not a new feature Seam introduce. Everyone could decide if it is suitable for him/her to not use a specific class for a page and gain that one knows exactly where to look to see what the pages are built upon. On the other hand, using a collection of beans might reduce the lines of code a little bit. Regarding "best practice", live changes, what today is a best practice might not be true tomorrow ... but ... it is up to you if you'd like to follow the "new best practice" ;-) Ciao, Mario BTW: for now I'd stick with backing beans. __________________________________________________ Do You Yahoo!?
