@ManagedBean(name="hello")
@SessionScoped
public class HelloBean implements Serializable {

    private static final long serialVersionUID = 1L;
    
    private String name;

    public String getName() {
        return name;
    }

    public void setName(String name) {
        this.name = name;
    }
}

Create hello.xhtml and welcome.xhtml under src/main/webapp

hello.xhtml:
