application scope singleton bean

[cool_zephyr]

how to make a bean application scoped so that it will persist as long as the web application is running???
and how can we access it in our controller??
thank you

[masijade]

@ManagedBean
@ApplicationScope
public class YourClass ...

In Servlet:  getServletContext().getAttribute("yourClass")

In JSF: #{yourClass.whatever}

I know little about Spring. In JEE 6/7 most of these frameworks are no longer needed. IMHO.
