I have the following flow in my app.

Load main page --->

AuthenticatorAction is loaded which validates user

This has scope :

@Stateless

@Name("authenticator")

Now i have injected a session bean

@In(required=false)  

    @Out(required=false, scope = SESSION)

    private MyXMPPManager xmppm;

I call a few methods after successful authentication

Now I navigate to another page main.xhtml

I want to display members from MyXMPPManager here

Hnce I have added

<h:dataTable value="#{MyXMPPManager.onlinefrnds}" var="XMPPFriend">

<h:column>

    <f:facet name="header">Presence</f:facet>

    #{XMPPFriend.presence}

  </h:column>

  <h:column>

    <f:facet name="header">Name</f:facet>

    #{XMPPFriend.name}

  </h:column>

  <h:column>

    <a href="edit.faces?tid=#{XMPPFriend.name}">Challenge</a>

  </h:column>

</h:dataTable>

However when I run the project - the page doesnt display any of the data although the session bean instance is present

Approach 2 : I added a request scoped  managed bean XMPPFriendList which injects MyXMPPManager ,and  added an entry in faces-config.xml for this request scoped XMPPFriendList Here in non parameteres constructor , I set member variable data to that in MyXMPPManager.

Updated xhtml

However the injected bean ref of MyXMPPManager is null here.

Please help!
