Adding Binding Attributes: Here to Stay

Hi all,

Another friendly reminder to those doing Visual Web JSF tutorials: don't forget to add the binding attribute to components you want to add Java code to. This is not just a NetBeans 6.1 feature, this is the future. In the past, Visual Web projects were packed with unused code (e.g. getters and setters), making them huge. In order to make NetBeans a leaner IDE, changes had to be made, and this was an obvious choice.

So, it looks as if this feature is here to stay. There are instructions for adding binding attributes in every tutorial where it is applicable. There is also a neat little wiki at http://wiki.netbeans.org/OnDemandBindingAttribute to use as your guide.

Just trying to help.

See you tomorrow.
