ADF terminology-backing/managing bean clarification

KishoreKannanOct 18 2016 — edited Oct 18 2016

hi experts

Since i am new to Oracle ADF-faces & task-flows(and in general ADF fmwk/model binding as well ) coming from a little exposure to JSF(spring flows background)

it would be great if someone can clarify my query here:

Whenever docs or oracle/ADF blog authors talk about managed bean then is it right to assume mostly they talk about the bean to whose property a UI component's value is bound to

and "backing bean" can sometimes be loosely used in same context (is this usage normal?) or specifically to 'component binding' where the bean property actually holds a reference to UI component in backing bean memory scope to get more control over the UI component i.e to control its attributes as well.

So managed bean refers to value binding(could also mean ADF model binding if tied via data control/binding layer) and backing bean means component binding.

Is my above understanding of terminology correct ?

ps: Pls feel free to correct me if i am wrong anywhere and pointers except docs/help which i would definitely go over as well

thanks

kishore
