It would be good to be able to add methods to a JSF backing bean with the following command :

faces-add-method --named myMethod

Most of the JSF methods return a String which is the page to go to (null means "go to the current page"). This would add the following myMethod method to the existing backing bean :

@Named
public class MyBackingBean {

    public String myMethod() {
      return null;
    }

We could also have a outcome parameter which will be the page to go to :

faces-add-method --named myMethod --outcome main.xhtml

Gives :

@Named
public class MyBackingBean {

    public String myMethod() {
      return "main.xhtml";
    }
