Add FacesMessage to FacesContext in an session scoped bean HOWTO?

Question

I have an simple question. How can I add an FacesMessage to the FacesContext in a session scoped bean.
This code works fine for request scoped beans.
String message = "Some message";          
FacesMessage curentMessage = new FacesMessage(message, message);
curentMessage.setSeverity(FacesMessage.SEVERITY_ERROR); //Mark as ERROR
context.addMessage(�userForm�, curentMessage);          When I change bean scope to "session" I am getting java.lang.IllegalStateException at the last line when adding message to context.
Thanks:

-- NerminHow do you get "context"? If you are storing it as an instance variable of the bean, then you
should expect to get an exception. The FacesContext is scoped only to one request. Instead
of storing it in the bean, use FacesContext.getCurrentInstance() each time you need to use it.
