Get JSF managed bean by name in any Servlet related class

Question

I\'m trying to write a custom servlet (for AJAX/JSON) in which I would like to reference my @ManagedBeans by name. I\'m hoping to map:

http://host

Have you tried an approach like on this link? I'm not sure if createValueBinding() is still available but code like this should be accessible from a plain old Servlet. This does require to bean to already exist.

 FacesContext context = FacesContext.getCurrentInstance();  
 Application app = context.getApplication();
 // May be deprecated
 ValueBinding binding = app.createValueBinding("#{" + expr + "}"); 
 Object value = binding.getValue(context);
