@ManagedProperty does not reflect changes and keeps returning null

Question

I\'m trying to inject the value of one sessionscoped bean into a viewscoped bean but it keeps returning null, here\'s a snippet:

import javax.faces.applicati         


        

Answer 1

#{user.userName} is interpreted by JSF as getUser().getUserName()

So it is better to have a @ManagedProperty of type User, with its getter/setter methods getUser/setUser. With that you can access the user's name by #{user.userName}.
