Hi Alan, Great to here that the app is running now!
Those things you're encountering really seem like GlassFish (or NetBeans) bugs to me. Actually @Model really should work, because it is just a Stereotype for @Named @RequestScoped. My guess here is that GlassFish does not enable CDI correctly when running with MyFaces, because if you test @Model in Tomcat using MyFaces-2 and Apache OpenWebBeans it works fine!
