copied!<p>You don't need to. It makes in well designed webapps no sense. The servletcontainer does already the session management. Just put the logged-in user in the session scope.</p> <pre><code>@ManagedBean @RequestScoped public class LoginController { private String username; private String password; @EJB private UserService userService; public String login() { User user = userService.find(username, password); FacesContext context = FacesContext.getCurrentInstance(); if (user == null) { context.addMessage(null, new FacesMessage("Unknown login, try again")); username = null; password = null; return null; } else { context.getExternalContext().getSessionMap().put("user", user); return "userhome?faces-redirect=true"; } } public String logout() { FacesContext.getCurrentInstance().getExternalContext().invalidateSession(); return "index?faces-redirect=true"; } // ... } </code></pre> <p>The logged-in user will be available as <code>#{user}</code> in all pages throughout the same session and also in <code>@ManagedProperty</code> of other beans.</p> <p>On logout, however, it makes more sense to invalidate the session. This will trash all session scoped beans as well. You can use <a href="http://download.oracle.com/javaee/6/api/javax/faces/context/ExternalContext.html#invalidateSession%28%29" rel="nofollow noreferrer"><code>ExternalContext#invalidateSession()</code></a> for this.</p> <pre><code> public String logout() { FacesContext.getCurrentInstance().getExternalContext().invalidateSession(); return "index?faces-redirect=true"; } </code></pre> <h3>See also:</h3> <ul> <li><a href="https://stackoverflow.com/questions/3106452/how-do-servlets-work-instantiation-shared-variables-and-multithreading/">How do servlets work?
