This allows the bean configured that way to reuse the same scope as your viewController is configured for - and thus use the same persistence context. You have to follow the viewController naming rules or use the @ViewController annotation to make that work.
Not sure if this helps here, though. I normally use that for converter (configured via spring instead of faces-config.xml) to allow them to use the same persistence context to load data from the database. Ciao, Mario
