FacesContext fCtx = FacesContext.getCurrentInstance();
HttpSession session = (HttpSession) fCtx.getExternalContext().getSession(false);
String sessionId = session.getId();

You try

{
String uuidFc = FacesContext.getCurrentInstance().getExternalContext().getSessionId(true);
}

This line return the facesContext sessionId value

This returns the servletcontext sessionid. And how does it differ from the other accepted answer? The true? Then why should be added to the answer – Kukeltje Feb 13 '19 at 15:31

You can also use the OmniFaces JSF utility library.

String sessionId = Faces.getSessionId();

Adding this as an answer, since it's highly likely that you will use this library, if you use JSF.
