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

Answer 1

I use the following method:

public static  T getBean(final String beanName, final Class clazz) {
    ELContext elContext = FacesContext.getCurrentInstance().getELContext();
    return (T) FacesContext.getCurrentInstance().getApplication().getELResolver().getValue(elContext, null, beanName);
}

This allows me to get the returned object in a typed manner.
