This is an interesting topic but to answer your first question on how to get remoteAddress you can define a factory in component.xml

<factory name="remoteAddr" value="#{facesContext.externalContext.request.remoteAddr}" />

You can then inject remoteAddr in your component.

@In("remoteAddr")
String remoteAddress

Is there a reason why you outjected sfc to SessionScope and injected without a scope?

Well sfc never gets altered and I was thinking that once a component has a scope it is maintained? Also I don't outject it so I don't think anything happens to it...

would that cause a problem?

I think thats where you got lost.

I wasn't injecting the sfb component. I was injecting the sfc and elog components.

the sfb component was being created by the constructor and thus bijection wasn't getting applied.
