Session scoped bean not stored in user session

Question

I tried to develop a simple authentification application based on BaluC's answer in JSF HTTP Session Login, but the problem is that my session scoped bean UserManager is not stored in the user session, so when the LoginFilter checks if the user is logged in,

UserManager userManager=(UserManager)req.getSession().getAttribute("userManager");

it returns null !

Any Idea on how to fix this problem ?

You can try to get it from the context like :

FacesContext context = FacesContext.getCurrentInstance();

UserManager userManager = context.getApplication().evaluateExpressionGet(context, "#{userManager}", UserManager.class);
