Passing passwd & login

[[EMAIL PROTECTED]]

   Hi,
      I'm wondering what solution for that you got boys:
        - how should I pass the password and the user login through 
beans, as I need both of them to retrieve data form database.

   Is good enough to have loginBean.java and then on each bean which 
needs connect to db do something like:
       FacesContext context = FacesContext.getCurrentInstance();
       ValueBinding vb = 
context.getApplication().createValueBinding("#{loginBean}");

       u = ((UserBean) vb.getValue(context));
       userName = u.getLoginName();
       passwd = u.getPasswd();
  
   Or better solution will be put user and password to the session like:
           FacesContext fc = FacesContext.getCurrentInstance();
           HttpSession session = (HttpSession) 
fc.getExternalContext().getSession(false);
           session.setAttribute("USER", loginName);
     and then retrieve it when necessery:
           HttpSession session = (HttpSession) 
context.getExternalContext().getSession(false);
           session.getAttribute("USER");

  Thanks for any suggestion!
