The sessions *are* the same. Accessing FacesContext.externalContext.session should work fine. Using FacesContext.externalContext.sessionMap should also return the same values, but as a map rather than exposing the actual Session object. This can be convenient as it avoids a typecast operation. Regards, Simon
