Java class name convention with respect to managed been usage in Primefaces

Question

I am using Eclipse Indigo and whenever I create a new class starting with lower case then a warning is shown as displayed below (" Type name is discouraged. By convention, Java type names usually start with an uppercase letter").

Now in my xHTML / JSF file, if i try to access the class with first letter in caps then it is not accessible e-g;

'#{MyClass.variableName}' is NOT accessible nor the class constructor is called whereas '#{myClass.variableName}' works fine.

Note: class has an annotation "@ManagedBean"

Thanks

This is edited part: It only works if class is created with first letter as lower case "myClass" and in JSF file access with the same lower case "myClass"

Answer 1

In order to follow the Java standard for class name I have used the following approach.

@ManagedBean(name="myClass")
public class MyClass {

}

previously due to JSF behaviour, I was using

@ManagedBean
public class myClass {

}

Please also share that what you do in such cases.

Thanks,

Answer 2

Its the expected behavior

By default, the name associated with a bean is simply the lowercase form of its class name

You give your class a name with Capitalized Letter , like MyClass and accessing it from your xhtmls like this #{myClass.someVariable} (with a lower case prefix)

its not related to Primefaces , its the general approach in JSF
