# New JSF Managed Bean Wizard: Name and Location

Use to create a new JSF managed bean.

In the Name and Location page, you have to set the following properties:

Element | Description
--- | ---
Class Name | Specifies the JSF managed bean class name.
Project | Specifies the project in which the JSF managed bean will be located.
Location | Specifies a folder to house the JSF managed bean.
Package | Specifies a package within the location to house the JSF managed bean.
Created File | Specifies the file of the new JSF managed bean.
Configuration File | Specifies the Faces configuration file (`faces-config.xml`). If you are using JSF 2.0, you do not need a configuration file. The managed bean is registered with the application using annotations. If you want to register the managed bean in a configuration file and your application does not have one, select the 'Add data to a configuration file' option and the wizard will create one for you.) If you are using JSF 1.2 and your application does not have a configuration file, you cannot proceed with the wizard. To create a new configuration file, use the JSF Faces Configuration wizard. (Choose File > New File. Select the JavaServer Faces category and JSF Faces Configuration file type.)
Scope | Sets the scope of the JSF managed bean. Use the drop-down list to set the scope of the managed bean to one of the following:
request | Request scope contains data specific to an individual server request, and is discarded when the `service` method returns. This is the most common scope usage in web applications, and is the default setting for the IDE.
session | Session scope contains data specific to a user session.
application | Application scope contains data for the entire web application.
none | No scope is selected.
Bean Description | Sets a description for the JSF managed bean.
