No need to get the request. ExternalContext already has a getSession() method.
Also, your code will break in a portlet environment. If you want to make it work for both portlets and servlets, see http://wiki.apache.org/myfaces/UsingPortletUtil. This will let you know if you can safely cast to HttpSession or if you need to cast to PortletSession instead. Truth be told, ExternalContext needs an invalidate() method. Stan Silvert JBoss, Inc.
