[No, jsf can use variable resolvers in *addition to* faces-config.xml. That is also how seam does things. So the beans are not in the faces-config.xml. Would be a bit unfriendly to need to add every processvariable to faces-config.xml ] I was not clear about what u said. My problem is that inside JSF forms we use one Object i.e. data access object to retrieve data from the database and show that data in user interface(inside xhtml). SO I was not clear about that, where that objecct & class itself is mapped Thanking you, --Mansingh View the original post : http://www.jboss.com/index.html?module=bb&op=viewtopic&p=4155582#...
