how to set and get HttpSession using JSF/Bean (@named)

Question

When using Servlet/JSP, we get HttpSession from HttpServletRequest, now that I develop an application using JSF/JPA/EJB, I don't know how to set attribute in session (for login exactly) and how to get them, any help.

FacesContext facesContext = FacesContext.getCurrentInstance();
HttpSession session = (HttpSession) facesContext.getExternalContext().getSession(true);
session.setAttribute("att", att);

`getSession(true)` will create new if there is no session. `getSession(false)` will return `null` if there is no session – MD TAREQ HASSAN Apr 23 '19 at 08:49
