Using inheritance for managed beans

HI,
Is it considered bad or good practise to have managed beans inheriting from each other?

For example, I have a lot of similar backing beans.
I would like to factor out the commonality into a base backing bean.
I see no reason why I shouldn't do this,

Any tips or comments?

Thanks.

I have a "BaseBean" that all my managed beans inherit from. The BaseBean itself is of course not a managed bean since I do not need it as one. And I have observed no problems whatsoever with this structure

EDIT: Now that I think about it I am no longer sure if I have a managed bean annotation in my base bean. At least I have managedPropertys inside it. I will check tomorrow. BTW I use JSF 2

I have several apps that employ inheritance, both on managed beans and on domain model beans. No real problem as long as I mark the base bean to indicate any managed properties it may have.

The worst of my offenses are being committed in JSF2, but I'm pretty sure JSF1 supported inheritance too. I may even have some and just forgot about them.

Yep, no @ManagedBean annotation in my "BaseBean" as I thought.
