Question about Session Scoped Bean

[Dave Bixler]

I have a manged bean that is session scoped as such:

@ManagedBean(name = "LoginFormBean")
@SessionScoped
public class LoginFormBean implements Serializable {
...
  private User authenticatedUser;
...
  public User getAuthenticatedUser() {
    return this.authenticatedUser;
  }

  public void setAuthenticatedUser(User authenticatedUser) {
    this.authenticatedUser = authenticatedUser;
  }

Upon a user pressing a login button, I save the authenticated user in the LoginFormBean. When the next page is displayed, the authenticatedUser is set and displays correctly and the resulting page (which displays correctly) has:

...
 Logged in as:<h:outputText value="#{LoginFormBean.authenticatedUser.username}"/>
...

Everything to this point seems to be functioning correctly.

The page where the authenticated user is displayed correctly has several URLs and a form. For "some" unknown reason, as soon as a URL to another page in my application is chosen, or a command button is chosen, the authenticated User is wiped out almost as if the SessionScoped bean is no longer in the session.

Is there something that I could be missing here that would be causing this issue?

Thanks in advance.

Edit: I removed the unnecessary managed property annotation from authenticatedUser.

Problem solved. There are "two" SessionScoped attributes and I was importing the wrong one:

import javax.enterprise.context.SessionScoped;

Sometimes I really hate auto-import generation
