Just to understand what you explained, the action method that fires, this would be the action method in the request-scoped bean?
Well, it could be in any backing bean. But then you'd have to inject the request-scoped bean into
that bean (which would have to be request-scoped, too), then invoke a method on the original request scoped bean, so might as well keep it simple.
Manually retrieving session objects works in JSF as far as it goes, but I think you've just shown yourself that it's a lot more code and a lot less portable than having JSF do the job for you.
