Retrieving Session bean object in a Servlet from FacesContext Object

Question

Hi,
I added code in a servlet to retrieve Session bean object from the Faces Context object. I don't know what the problem was, but when I am accessing the application from two different machines and I am trying to retrieve the value from the session object in the servelet it is giving the value what I set into the session bean on one machine browser into another machine browser. Just I want to know the code which I had included in the servlet is correct or not.
This is the code I am using in my servelt:
1) To get the Faces context object
protected FacesContext getFacesContext(HttpServletRequest request, HttpServletResponse response) {
     FacesContext facesContext = FacesContext.getCurrentInstance();
     if (facesContext == null) {
          //System.out.println("Current context was null...creating one now");
          FacesContextFactory contextFactory =
               (FacesContextFactory)FactoryFinder.getFactory(FactoryFinder.FACES_CONTEXT_FACTORY);
          LifecycleFactory lifecycleFactory =
               (LifecycleFactory)FactoryFinder.getFactory(FactoryFinder.LIFECYCLE_FACTORY);
          Lifecycle lifecycle = lifecycleFactory.getLifecycle(LifecycleFactory.DEFAULT_LIFECYCLE);
          facesContext =
               contextFactory.getFacesContext(request.getSession().getServletContext(), request, response, lifecycle);
          //Set using our inner class
          InnerFacesContext.setFacesContextAsCurrentInstance(facesContext);
          //set a new viewRoot, otherwise context.getViewRoot returns null
          UIViewRoot view = facesContext.getApplication().getViewHandler().createView(facesContext, "ContextName");
          facesContext.setViewRoot(view);
     return facesContext;
2) Code to get the session bean:
Utils utilsBean = (Utils) getFacesContext(request, response).getApplication().getVariableResolver().resolveVariable (getFacesContext(request, response), "utils");

Thank you for the reply and can you please send the code No, I cannot do that.
what you are talking about to get the bean from session through servelet session map so that I can use that one check whether it is working fine in my application or not.
Thanks.
