Hi,

I tried the JSF example of chapter 2 (in a small different way).

I've got a User WebBean which should be in the Request Context:

@Named
@RequestScoped
public class User implements Serializable {
        
        private static final long serialVersionUID = 1L;
        private String name;
        private String password;
...

I've got also an AuthenticationService which has got the session scope and inject the User with @Current

@SessionScoped
@Named("authenticationService")
public class AuthenticationServiceImpl implements AuthenticationService {
        
        private static final long serialVersionUID = 1L;
        private @Current User loginData;
..

Finally I've got a simple xhtml page:

<h:form>
  Username <h:inputText value="#{credentials.name}" />
  Password <h:inputText value="#{credentials.password}" />
  <h:commandButton actionListener="#{authenticationService.login}" value="Login" />
</h:form>

If I press the Login Button I get into the action login in authenticationService (so far so good). But in the authentication service I've got a new User so the name and the password properties are null.

Afterwards I've use a debugger to see what happens:
1. Call the setter for name and password for a User object
2. Call the login action but with a different User object as in 1.

So I suppose I've got two user object in two different scopes.
In 1. dependent scope and in 2. Request scope.

My environment: Tomcat6, JSF2.0 (Mojarra)

Any ideas?
