Inject SessionScoped Bean in ViewScoped Bean

[Florian Huber]

Hi

I have a problem Injecting a Session Bean into a View Bean:
I have 2 portlets and i try to use IPC via IcePush, it worked while the history was a static field in the PushTest Bean, but i want to have it in the Session.

PushTest.java:

@ManagedBean
@ViewScoped
public class PushTest implements Serializable {
        @ManagedProperty(value="#{pushTestSessionBean}")
	private PushTestSessionBean ptsb;
	@PostConstruct
	public void tearUp(){
		System.out.println("PT: tearUp");
		PortletSession ps = (PortletSession) FacesContext.getCurrentInstance().getExternalContext().getSession(false);
		System.out.println("PT: SessionID: "+ps.getId());
		System.out.println(ptsb.getHistory());
		PushRenderer.addCurrentSession(getIcePushSessionGroup());
		PushRenderer.addCurrentView(getIcePushSessionGroup());
	}
....
}

PushTestSessionBean.java:

@ManagedBean(name="pushTestSessionBean")
@SessionScoped
public class PushTestSessionBean implements Serializable{
	private List<String> history = new LinkedList<String>();

	@PostConstruct
	public void tearUp(){
		System.out.println("PTSB: tearUp");
		PortletSession ps = (PortletSession) FacesContext.getCurrentInstance().getExternalContext().getSession(false);
		System.out.println("PTSB: SessionID: "+ps.getId());
		history.add("SessionID: "+ps.getId());
	}
	
	public List<String> getHistory() {
		return history;
	}

	public void setHistory(List<String> history) {
		this.history = history;
	}
	public void add(String hist){
		System.out.println("adding to historySessionBean: "+hist);
		history.add(hist);
	}
}

If i add a string to the history list, the new string is contained in the sessionBean, but not in the other (called from the other portlet)... but the beans have the same SessionID.
So, if I inject a SessionBean in a ViewScoped bean and call this viewScopedBean twice from the same session, I expect that they use the same SessionBean.

This is very strange, has anyone an idea how to solve?

Ok, I have found out that @SessionScope Beans are stored in different sessions for each portlet, so I tried with @ApplicationScoped but now every user (as expected) gets the same data

How can I store a Bean in PortletSession.APPLICATION_SCOPE? this should solve the problem, because this is a usersession for every portlet in a WAR
If I can't store these Beans in the APPLICATION_SCOPE, I think about a Map of <SessionID, Object> but then i have to implement the Injection mechanism myself :/
