unbound sessionScoped ManagedBean value

I have a SessionScoped ManagedBean. I want to reset all value of this bean. I'm using JSF 2.1.0-b03

@ManagedBean(name = "myBean")
@SessionScoped
public class MyBean implements Serializable {
    private static final long serialVersionUID = 1L;
    private String name;
}

Now, I've the method, which resets all value to null. But I don't like this solution. 

private void unboundValue() {
    name= null;
}

How can I unbound value from SessionScoped ManagedBean?

Solution

  • Manual reset seems the proper way. If you want to invalidate the whole session, not just one bean, then call session.invalidate(). If it's just one bean, the manual field reset is ok.
