How invalidate a session managed bean

Question

I have a faces-config. xml file with the following content:
<managed-bean>
<managed-bean-name>pc_mybean</managed-bean-name>
<managed-bean-class>mybean</managed-bean-class>
<managed-bean-scope>session</managed-bean-scope>
</managed-bean>
For some reasons I needed to put it as session.
Now I would like to know if there is a way to invalidate the session bean. Does someone know? How can I access to the bean with my java code?
Thanks a lot.

Answer 1

the method to invalidate the bean:
     public static void resetManagedBean(String beanName) {
          getValueBinding(getJsfEl(beanName)).setValue(FacesContext.getCurrentInstance(), null);
     private static ValueBinding getValueBinding(String el) {
          return getApplication().createValueBinding(el);
     public static String getJsfEl(String value) {
          return "#{" + value + "}";
     }
