<tt>Can you elaborate? When I look at faces-config.xml, I see something</tt><br>
<tt>that looks like the typical DD elements we've seen in the past:</tt><br>
<br>
<tt><managed-bean></tt><br>
<tt> <managed-bean-name>TestBean</managed-bean-name></tt><br>
<tt> <managed-bean-class>test.TestBean</managed-bean-class></tt><br>
<tt> <managed-bean-scope>request</managed-bean-scope></tt><br>
<tt></managed-bean></tt><br>
<br>
<tt>That's not a new style and given that JSPs are defined in the web.xml,</tt><br>
<tt>I'm not sure what "new" style you are talking about. Note, we're</tt><br>
<tt>talking about metadata syntax, not the JSP/JSF page source.<br>
<br>
