i referred to this question and i've a similar problem JSF - Get the SessionScoped Bean instance
I want to get the current instance of a managed bean in another managed bean. I've a SuperBean which is extended in a base Class - baseBean. I set the value of a list - itemList in baseBean. The getter setter of the list are in SuperBean and I should use this SuperBean in my BackingBean to get the value of the itemList.
I tried using -
Application app = FacesContext.getCurrentInstance().getApplication();
ValueBinding vb = app.createValueBinding("#{superbean}");
SuperClass superclass = (SuperClass) vb.getValue(FacesContext.getCurrentInstance());
When I try to print superclass.getItems(); - It gives only this - []
And also this -
SuperClass superclass = (SuperClass)FacesContext.getCurrentInstance().
getExternalContext().getSessionMap().get("superbean");
When I try to print with this - It throws exception as my superbean entry is not present in the sessionMap even though the entry is placed in facesConfig and also as @ManagedBean and @sessionscoped
Kindly help me resolve this.

annotation. I think your superbean won't be intantiated if you only reference properties from sub classes. – Matt Handy@ManagedProperty
should be perfectly fine. Perhaps you've just created a completely different instance manually? – BalusC
