Is possible to add annotation @ManagedBean in XPages?

Question

I try to add annotations in a Java class to take the bean in XPages. But when I try this:

@ManagedBean(name="photoBean")
@SessionScoped
public class PhotoBean implements Serializable {

    private static final long serialVersionUID = -6839844250507324282L;

    private String idPhoto;
    private String nomPhoto;

    public String getIdPhoto() {
        return idPhoto;
    }

    public void setIdPhoto(String idPhoto) {
        this.idPhoto = idPhoto;
    }


}

it doesn't compile:

@ManagedBean(name="photoBean")
@SessionScoped

Is there special code to do that? Or is it only for Java EE and not for Lotus? Notes says to create the annotations.

As they said, no, it is not possible to use the annotations in Xpages. DARN! Yeah, i want them too. Anyway the way to go about registering your Beans is through the faces-config.xml file. (package explorer view, application/WebContent/WEB-INF/faces-config.xml) The XML would look like:

<?xml version="1.0" encoding="UTF-8"?>
<faces-config>
  <managed-bean>
    <managed-bean-name>ErrWriter</managed-bean-name>
    <managed-bean-class>de.hol.utils.errorHandling.ErrorWriter</managed-bean-class>
    <managed-bean-scope>session</managed-bean-scope>
  </managed-bean>

</faces-config>
