Being able to add methods to an existing JSF backing bean --------------------------------------------------------- Key: FORGE-2468 URL: https://issues.jboss.org/browse/FORGE-2468 Project: Forge Issue Type: Sub-task Components: Java EE Affects Versions: 2.19.0.Final Reporter: Antonio Goncalves Labels: Starter Fix For: 2.x Future It would be good to be able to add methods to a JSF backing bean with the following command : {code} faces-add-method --named myMethod {code} Most of the JSF methods return a String which is the page to go to (null means "go to the current page"). This would add the following {{myMethod}} method to the existing backing bean : {code} @Named public class MyBackingBean { public String myMethod() { return null; } {code} We could also have a outcome parameter which will be the page to go to : {code} faces-add-method --named myMethod --outcome main.xhtml {code} Gives : {code} @Named public class MyBackingBean { public String myMethod() { return "main.xhtml"; } {code}
