Delete the JSFPanelGrid application created in the pevious section and create a similar application and a project in Applications-Navigator for the panel grid. Generate a managed bean from a JavaBean class. A managed bean implements a resource, a JavaBean class in the example application. The JavaBean class has properties and...
