public abstract class AbstractApplicationBean
extends AbstractFacesBean

AbstractApplicationBean is the abstract base class for data bean(s) that are stored in application scope attributes. It extends AbstractFacesBean, so it inherits all of the default behavior found there. In addition, the following lifecycle methods are called automatically when the corresponding events occur:

• init() - Called when this bean is initially added as an application scope attribute (typically as the result of evaluating a value binding or method binding expression).
• destroy() - Called when the bean is removed from the application attributes (typically as a result of the application being shut down by the servlet container).

public AbstractApplicationBean()

Create a new application scope bean.

Method Detail

init

public void init()

This method is called when this bean is initially added to application scope. Typically, this occurs as a result of evaluating a value binding or method binding expression, which utilizes the managed bean facility to instantiate this bean and store it into application scope.

You may customize this method to initialize and cache application wide data values (such as the lists of valid options for dropdown list components), or to allocate resources that are required for the lifetime of the application.

destroy

public void destroy()

This method is called when this bean is removed from application scope. Typically, this occurs as a result of the application being shut down by its owning container.

You may customize this method to clean up resources allocated during the execution of the init() method, or at any later time during the lifetime of the application.
