Application Bean Node - Sun Java Studio Creator 2

See Also

The Application Bean node in the Projects window lists the application JavaBeans object. This bean has a runtime scope of Application and is where you store information that you want to preserve across all user sessions, such as an option list for a Drop Down component.

You can right-click the Application Bean node and choose Add > Property to add a bean property to be used to store information.

Use the Session Bean to store information for use by other pages throughout the user's session, such as the user's logon name.
Use the Request Bean to store information that is in the current page for use by the next page.

Note: The application bean is instantiated when an expression first references the bean. You must have a value binding between a component on one of your application's pages and a property of the application bean for the application bean to be instantiated.

If you double-click the Application Bean node, the Java Editor opens to allow you to edit the ApplicationBean.java file. Do not edit this file unless you are an experienced developer.
