JSF Backing bean code

Hi every body ,

I am creating one form , on that form I have created six tabs.On my entire application I have one backing bean .I have taken that backing bean in a session scope .

My question :

Can I create six different backing bean for each tab ?

A short example :

//MyBackingBean.java //This is the main backing bean. class MyBackingBean { //for first tab private FirstTabBackingBean firstTabBackingBean ; //for second tab private SecondTabBackingBean secondTabBackingBean ; //for third tab private ThirdTabBackingBean thirdTabBackingBean ; //for fourth tab private FourthTabBackingBean fourthTabBackingBean ; //for fifth tab private FifthTabBackingBean fifthTabBackingBean ; //for sixth tab private SixTabBackingBean sixTabBackingBean ; //Simple getter and setter for each backing bean , such as : public FirstTabBackingBean getFirstTabBackingBean() { if(this.firstTabBackingBean ==null) this.firstTabBackingBean = new FirstTabBackingBean(); return this.firstTabBackingBean; } public void setFirstTabBackingBean(FirstTabBackingBean firstTabBackingBean ) { this.firstTabBackingBean = firstTabBackingBean ; } //Same for other remaining 5 beans. } //FirstTabBackingBean.java class FirstTabBackingBean { //Here I am doing all actions related to button click & radio button click ......... }

my faces-config.xml is :

<managed-bean> <managed-bean-name>mainBackingBean</managed-bean-name> <managed-bean-class> com.myPkg.MyBackingBean </managed-bean-class> <managed-bean-scope>session</managed-bean-scope> </managed-bean>

my jsf is somthing like that :

<h:commandButton action="#{mainBackingBean.firstTabBackingBean.previousAction }" value="Previous"/>


It is working fine for my application.For code maintain purpose I just separate each tabs actions into different beans.

Is it the proper way ? s this the proper structure ?
or is there any different way to write code ?
