Initialise Backing Bean from database

Hi

I need to initialise a backing bean with values from a db table - I know the
username of my logged in user from:

FacesContext facesContext = FacesContext.getCurrentInstance();
String owner = facesContext.getExternalContext().getRemoteUser();

I want to set the user details on the bean - name, address - so that when
you go to the account details page the values for the logged in user are
displayed.

i.e. What I want is an initialisation method - so that when the bean is
created it gets the values it needs using the username and sets the other
properties.

As I understand it Backing Beans do not have a constructor - so how I get it
to go off and set the values.

Many thanks

Chris
