Annotating the class with @ManagedBean and @SessionScoped.

The javax.faces.model.ManagedBean and javax.faces.model.SessionScoped annotations mark the class as a JSF managed bean that is valid for the length of a web session.

1. Directly above the class declaration, add the @ManagedBean and @SessionScoped annotations.

   @ManagedBean
   @SessionScoped
   public class DukesBDay{
   ...
   }

2. Right-click in the editor and select Fix Imports.

3. In the Fix All Imports dialog, select javax.faces.bean.SessionScoped as the fully-qualified class name for SessionScoped and click OK.
