We put all our session scoped variables into a managed bean which has session scope. It then becomes easy
#{SessionBean.foo.bar} -----Original Message----- From: James Reynolds [mailto:[EMAIL PROTECTED] Sent: Thursday, July 27, 2006 2:41 PM To: MyFaces Discussion Subject: RE: is there a way to pull a session scope variable directly into a jsf tag? There are some implicit variables to simplify accessesing objects in session or application scope... #{sessionScope.foo.bar} Or #{applicationScope.foo.bar} I haven't tried this for navigation as you've described, but it works great for tying object properties to controls.

I didn't want to put the value in a managed bean, so used just a session attribute. but that doesn't work and I've looked for references and can't find one. is there a way to pull a session scoped attribute directly with a tag?
