Difference between Backing Bean and Managed Bean

AmittMar 6 2015 — edited Mar 7 2015

I have been asked this question many no of times and there are multiple links available for the same.

Is my understating correct?

  • a backing bean is the class out of context
  • a managed bean is the backing bean whenever it is declared to be used with the JSF managed bean facility.

Also,

http://www.developersbook.com/jsf/interview-questions/jsf-interview-questions-faqs.php

refers:

Backing Beans should be defined only in the request scope

The managed beans that are created by JSF can be stored within the request, session, or application scopes

is this true?
