Using all listeners for all events of components as JSF Managed Beans

To use the listeners as JSF managed beans the below steps should be accomplished:

1.	Create the listener class. For example:

public class MyMenuItemSelectedListener extends MenuItemSelectedListener

{

...

}

2.	In the faces-config element of your application configuration file define the managed beans.

<managed-bean>

<managed-bean-name>myMenuItemSelectedListener</managed-bean-name>

<managed-bean-class>testingapplication.menu.MyMenuItemSelectedListener</managed-bean-class>

<managed-bean-scope>session</managed-bean-scope>

</managed-bean>

3.	Define component tag on JSP page to specify which listener property to use.

<menu:menu id="menu2" menuLabel="Root0" menuAbsolutePosition="false"

menuItemSelectedListener="#{myMenuItemSelectedListener}">

You can see the managed bean example for each component in the testing application demo.
