To make a bean accessible through the unified expression language (EL), use the @Named built-in qualifier.
import javax.inject.Inject; import javax.enterprise.context.RequestScoped; import javax.inject.Named; @Named @RequestScoped public class Printer { @Inject @Informal Greeting greeting; ...
The @Named qualifier allows you to access the bean using the bean name, with the first letter in lowercase. For example, a Facelets page would refer to the bean as printer.
You can specify an argument to the @Named qualifier to use a non-default name:
@Named("MyPrinter")
With this annotation, the Facelets page would refer to the bean as MyPrinter.
