Difference between @Named and @Model

What is the difference between javax.enterprise.inject.Model and javax.inject.Named ? Both are available from JSF EL.

Solution

  • @Model is just a shortcut for a @RequestScoped @Named (in other words @model is a stereotype which incorporates other annotations more about stereotypes here)

    therefore 

    @Model
public class MainBean {
//...

    is equal to

    @Named
@RequestScoped
public class MainBean {
//...
