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

You can get the managed bean by passing the name:

public static Object getBean(String beanName){
    Object bean = null;
    FacesContext fc = FacesContext.getCurrentInstance();
    if(fc!=null){
         ELContext elContext = fc.getELContext();
         bean = elContext.getELResolver().getValue(elContext, null, beanName);
    }

    return bean;
}
