use jsf managed bean in facelet custom component as in jsf within jsp

Question

I have jsf application in which I have to use a facelet custom component (defined in a custom tag library). In order to achieve this I have done the following: - created the component, with ui:component - created the taglib in a file person.taglib.xml - create the context parameter in web.xml - and finally included the component in a xhtml document

But I need to use a bean, in order to get the information that I have to display. Can I use a bean inside a facelet component definition?

For example, I have a created a pure jsp page, including jsf tags, and from there I can access the bean (for example Person).

Can I access the bean defined in faces-config.xml from a facelet component?

(Hope I was clear enough)

Are you using JSF 1.x or 2.x? Your question gives me the impression that you're still on JSF 1.x. In JSF 2.x this would be too easy with a @ManagedBean annotation or just a composite component instead of a tag file. — BalusC

Okay, I posted an answer. Perhaps you should take care that you are not reading tutorials/books targeted on JSF 1.x, but rather on JSF 2.x. — BalusC

If you annotate the backing bean class with @ManagedBean and put that class just straight in the classpath, either plain vanilla or inside a JAR with a /META-INF/faces-config.xml, then JSF2 will auto-register it as a managed bean without any need to register it in faces-config.xml yourself.

@ManagedBean @RequestScoped public class Bean { // ... }
