Thanks Yoav, I've figured as much. From my old C programming days I am well aware of scoping rules. Yet I am still at a loss of how to solve this particular problem. I'm not certain how to using a database would solve the problem and I'm not familiar with singleton. What is it and how can I use it.

Hi, I think you can't have the same session for both SSL and non-SSL activity. You get different sessions, each with its own bean, hence the behavior you describe. Can you use a database? A share singleton?
