If you don't specify a specific name in the @ManagedBean(name = "name") annotations name attribute, the name defaults to the class' name with it's first letter lowercased. Same thing if you use JSF <2.0, but it uses xml instead of annotations.

You can get anything you need from that managed bean then using EL, which in JSF is #{beanName.field}. If using EL 2.2+, you can call a method with #{beanName.method('param')}.

Also, for the future -- you really should specify the JSF version and containers that you run it in.
