There is no concept of "the" backing bean for a view in JSF. A view can have many associated beans, or none. You can access an arbitrary bean by name using the "looup" techniques described here: http://wiki.apache.org/myfaces/AccessingOneManagedBeanFromAnother However the problem remains of deciding what bean name to retrieve. There isn't any standard answer for that. Depending on *why* you want to do this, the Apache Shale view controller framework might be worth looking at; it looks for a managed bean with a name that "matches" the viewId. The MyFaces Orchestra view controller does something similar. Regards, Simon
