Do you mean that you want code running within a request to be able to
call
FacesContext
.getCurrentInstance()
.getExternalContext()
.getApplicationMap()
.get("someKey")
and get some object that you set up at webapp startup time?
If so, then that's fairly simple. The getApplicationMap() call above
just returns all objects that are in the standard servlet application
scope, ie the values of
javax.servlet.ServletContext.getAttribute()
So just write a ServletContextListener, and call
ServletContext.setAttribute to store your special object. It is then
later accessable to jsf as an "application scope" value. Yes, the
FacesContext doesn't yet exist, but that doesn't matter.
If you really do need access to the FacesContext for some reason then
things do get trickier. Matthias' info below is one option; there are a
couple of others solutions too.
