QWhat non-controller functionality goes in a backing bean?

I've done a fair amount of JSF work, and the backing beans I've done work just 
like a controller - they coordinate screen events and delegate fulfillment to 
model objects.

I'm not sure where one exactly draws the line between "logic" and "control", 
so perhaps I'm not writing controllers, but your statement is too vague for me 
to discern if that's so. Please clarify.
