How does JSF maintain a session? I know that when working with the servlet API your supposed to call request.getSession(). Does JSF do this for you automatically?

JSF is built over Servlets/JSP. It uses HttpSession only.

Yes, JSF uses HttpSession, but doesn't give you transparent access to it. Everything in JSF is handled via the managed-beans. So if you want something stored in the session give the managed-bean session scope.
IF you just can't live without manipulating the HttpSession directly you can do:
session = (HttpSession)FacesContext.getCurrentIstance().getExternalContext().getSession();
you can also get things like the request and response objects as well from the external context.
