Description rarchibald 2011-10-19 22:58:24 UTC 
To help improve adoption of Java EE, the wizards should be a good place to start.  However, they need to be updated to use the new features.  

1.  Use h:link instead of h:CommandLink for menu items that aren't using POST - most notably the index.xhtml page that the wizard creates.  I spent hours trying to understand why I couldn't get the security to work. Finally ran into the solution posted at http://stackoverflow.com/questions/7089120/jsf-2-0-change-default-behaviour-from-page-forward-to-page-redirect.  

2.  Use CDI - the backing beans should be @Named instead of @ManagedBean.

Thanks for raising this enhancement. Both points you mentioned are about project capabilities. Nr.1 is JSF2.x dependent and Nr.2 requires project with enabled CDI.

But I has to agree that both objections should be implemented to stay up-to-date. I targeted that for next release.

Thank you for the quick response and putting it on the roadmap.

At lease all simple links are replaced by h:link tag in web-main #205eb701516a.

> 2.  Use CDI - the backing beans should be @Named instead of @ManagedBean.

I started to working on that but I hit troubles by getting information if the project has CDI enabled or not, will be resolved soon as well.
Comment 5 Martin Fousek 2012-03-12 13:56:23 UTC 
Ok, so the CDI beans are generated instead of ManagedBean in CDI capable projects since:
web-main #7e1de621897

So both requests seem to be fixed.

Integrated into 'main-golden', will be available in build *201203130400* on http://bits.netbeans.org/dev/nightly/ (upload may still be in progress)

Log: #203986 - JSF Pages from Entities wizard issues; fixed static links
Comment 7 Martin Fousek 2012-07-23 05:42:58 UTC 
Finally the replacing of @ManagedBean by @Named annotation will be removed in patch1 of NetBeans 7.2 since it causes troubles in case of joined tables, see issue #203986 for more details. So CDI technologies can probably take a place after bundling next JSF version earliest again.
