Thanks for pointing me to that issue. It seems that the reason for your problem is specified at that issue on point 3:
3) the SessionMap/RequestParameterMap etc. will only work if behind a portlet. In some cases, the JSF-app might run both behind a portlet and a servlet I don't know much about Apache JSF Portlet Bridge but I think that bridge doesn't implements correctly the JSR-301 (JSF Portlet Bridge Spec). You can try other JSF Portlet Bridge impls, i.e.: Jsf 4 Portlets ( jsf4portlets.sf.net), jsfportletbridge (http://jsfportletbridge.dev.java.net). I'm currently working on implementing the JSR-301 at those projects, work is not finished yet but you can do a checkout againts its source repositories.
