Yeah, the session scoped data works fine with Myfaces portlets. I changed the scope of managed beans from request to session in the faces-config and it worked fine.
But if the scope of managed beans is request, then it doesnt work. I converted simple.war(taken from myfaces-1.1.1-examples) into a portlet and specified the default-view as /sample1.jsp in portlet.xml The page came nicely on jetspeed portal but it was losing out the request scoped data. Then I modified the scope of managed bean used in this jsp to session and it worked fine after that. The main page of simple.war is home.jsp which contains many <h:output> links and this page gives exceptions : portletexception. What do you think about the request scope stuff? Am I missing out something? Do you want me to raise it as a issue? Thanks, Sunil > In general, session scoped data works fine with MyFaces portlets.
