Questions about backing beans and do I still use the faces-config.xml?

One thing I absolutely believe is a waste of space is how SJSC2 has
create four .java files per page.

There really no need to create a java file for an ApplicationBean, Page,
RequestBean and SessionBean. I assume I don't need my bean to extend
com.sun.rave.web.ui.appbase.AbstractPageBean, since the appbase.jar is
not a requirement.

So how does the backend work?

May I just create a simple bean that is serializable and create a manage
bean reference in my faces-config.xml?

Thanks,
