Someone earlier on this thead mentioned that they would deal with this using
managed beans and the dependency injection mechanism it supports to inject

Great idea! By far the simplest thing to do. But, picture the lament that
started this thread ("JSF is more complex and/or not documented well
enough") and think about what it would mean if the Hello, World program for
JSF required you to understand IoC :-).
But OTOH, such an example might not leave people with the "what's the
benefit of all this?" questions afterwards.
I agree what was described is a good approach (and pretty closely echoes
what I described I've been doing with Struts and my DependencyFilter
from JWP recently), but another complaint I've personally heard a lot
(and had myself frankly) is that when you get through many of the
tutorials, your left thinking that what JSF offers isn't significantly
*better* than what we have today, just *different*. Many people want to
know why it's better, not why it's different.
The managed bean support is, IMO, one of the nicer things about JSF, and
I'd like to see it get more publicity.
