Hey Dani, that is really a greenhorn's question ;-)
check this http://wiki.apache.org/myfaces/AccessFacesContextFromServlet http://mail-archives.apache.org/mod_mbox/myfaces-users/200606.mbox/[EMAIL PROTECTED] The servled would look like this, the managed bean has the name "appModel" and class AppModel in this example public class CompressImages extends AbstractFacesServlet { protected void processRequest(HttpServletRequest request, HttpServletResponse response) throws ServletException, IOException { // Get faces context FacesContext facesContext = getFacesContext(request, response); AppModel appModelBean = (AppModel) getManagedBean("appModel",facesContext); // We only serve request with valid session !!! if (appModelBean==null) { java.util.logging.Logger.global.info("Bean is null."); return; } else { java.util.logging.Logger.global.info("Got bean."); } regards Dani
