JSF2: Pass objects from one requestscoped bean into another Requestscoped bean?

Question

Hi,

In JSF2, how can i pass objects from one requestscoped bean to another requestscoped bean? I really don't want to make them sessionscoped.

Maybe can i inject one bean in the other?

Thank you.

Use the ManagedProperty annotation:

@ManagedBean(name="beanA") @RequestScoped
public class BeanA implements Serializable {
  @ManagedProperty(value="#{beanB}") 
  private BeanB beanB;
  public void setBeanB(BeanB b) { this.beanB = b; }
  public BeanB getBeanB() { return beanB; }
}

@ManagedBean(name="beanB") @RequestScoped
public class BeanB implements Serializable {}

I haven't tested that code. You can achieve similar results by defining managed properties in faces-config.xml.
