JSF 2: invoking managed bean directly?

The pattern you're asking about is not really native to the way JSF works.

If it's preparing data for an initial GET request, just do the job in (post)constructor of the request or view scoped managed bean associated with the page.

I cant really gove you an answer,but what I can give you is a way to a solution, that is you have to find the anglde that you relate to or peaks your interest. A good paper is one that people get drawn into because it reaches them ln some way.As for me WW11 to me, I think of the holocaust and the effect it had on the survivors, their families and those who stood by and did nothing until it was too late.
