Andy, There's many ways to do this.
Some ways you could do it: 1) Use the Shale ViewController stuff to define your backing bean to be the controlling bean for your page. It'd be able to receive events like pre-render and post-render. 2) Create a phase listener that ran at pre-render and post-render phase. 3) Use a servlet filter -- this is how I manage my database connections, but I have need for my database connection to be active at all phases of JSF.
