Can you send a snippet of your faces-config.xml showing your managed bean definitions and your navigations, just to make sure I have the picture right?

Let me change the names and concepts.. First page you come to is a list of cars on "cars.jsp". Cars is populated as DataModel from "CarsListAction.java" There is a managed bean reference for the name "cars" to "CarsListAction.java. CarsListAction has a method "getCars" which returns this DataModel. On cars.jsp you have... <h:dataTable var="car" value="#{carsListAction.cars}" > Another managed bean: CarAction.java has CRUD methods. In this case "getCar" which is supposed to get a "Car" back from the backend based on 'carID". I want to be able to click on car from the list on cars.jsp and hit the "getCar' method in my "CarAction.java" bean and forward to a carForm.jsp that lets me edit the car. If I use a DataModel with this I'm assuming I'll need to get a handle to the DataModel from my CarAction.java... but the DataModel was set up in CarsListAction.
