I was expecting to be able to do something like this...
BeanA modifiedBeanA = loadBeanA();
FacesContext facesContext = FacesContext.getCurrentInstance();
ValueBinding vb =
facesContext.getApplication().createValueBinding("beanA");
vb.setValue(facesContext, modifiedBeanA);
return ("showBeanAContents");

Subject: RE: FacesContext/VariableResolver to get bean - how to set a
bean?
So if I have JSP-A with a button on, this links to an action.
The action loads some data into BeanA, then redirects to a new page
(JSP-B).
What do I have to do in the action class to get BeanA displayed on
JSP-B?
I've put in "value="#{myManagedBean.workNumber}"/>" but I'm at a loss of
what the action class must do with the bean.
Thanks
p.s> I may be approaching this problem in the wrong way. I'm a ex
Strut's Guy.

You'd just set the value attribute of the component to point to your
managed bean.
<h:outputText id="workNumberInput" value="#{myManagedBean.workNumber}"/>
If "myManagedBean" has request scope, you'll need to preserve it using
t:saveState so it's still available on the next page. I'm not
certain that you can do this if you use a <redirect /> tag in your
navigation rules, so you'd have to use some other method to preserve
them (session-scoped bean, maybe, or change to server-side state
management.)
