JSF component binding and page scope

[stephen]

Is component binding supposed to work when the backing bean has page scope?

I tried to use

binding="#{_reportProjectControlling.employeeSelectOneChoice}"

on one of my components.
"_reportProjectControlling" is a page scoped JavaBean.

That works fine only on the initial request.
On postback I am getting

23:20:31,415 ERROR [ExceptionFilter] exception root cause
javax.el.PropertyNotFoundException: /projectControllingReportFilter.xhtml @127,215 binding="#{_reportProjectControlling.employeeSelectOneChoice}": Target Unreachable, identifier '_reportProjectControlling' resolved to null
     at com.sun.facelets.el.TagValueExpression.setValue(TagValueExpression.java:95)

The docs say that conversation scope is illegal, but do not mention page scope.

For now I just grab the component by searching from the view root, but that's ugly and leaves no trace in the xhtml file that the component is used on the java side.

This is Seam 2.0.2.SP1 on JBoss 4.2.2.
