ARGH!
Simon, you just pointed out my mistake!
I was using:
getRequestMap().put("#{User}", new User(id));
While I really should have bean using:
getRequestMap().put("User", new User(id));
Notice, the "EL" notation.. As you said, this last line is equivalent to
below line when you use request beans:
ValueBinding binding = ctx.getApplication().createValueBinding("#{User}");
binding.setValue(ctx, new User(id));
Thanks for the help!
Just FYI, using
getRequestMap().put("User", new User(id));
> should be the same as the above code. The expression evaluator simply
looks in request, session
> and application scopes for an entry of the specified name. If not
found, then it looks for a
> managed bean declaration and instantiates as described earlier.
However as long as you've got

Cheers,
Simon
