Session Beans? JSF 2.0 and NetBeans 6.9

[ninn]

I am new to Netbeans.. In fact, the first time I've ever used it was this week. I am almost finished with my project (deadline is tomorrow) but the only thing that is holding me up is these Sessions. I find the idea of "Beans" extremely annoying, but I also understand that is because I don't know how to properly use them. I just need to pass variables between controllers. I've tried to do this by calling the controller and passing the variable as a parameter and setting it in the new controller. As soon as I get to the redirect at the end of my method, I move to the new controller that I set the variable in and the value is gone! I do not understand this. I thought that the Session Scoped annotation was supposed to hold these values until the session is ended by the user. Literally, all I need to do is: the user will click on a label, the label holds a value and calls a method from the current controller..that controller will set the value into a private variable..then redirect to another page controlled by another controller.. in this controller I need to retrieve the first value that was set. Session would be the best way in any other IDE I've ever used. But I cannot quite wrap the idea of the way Netbeans uses session. Please help. Point me in the right direction or something.

Are you using Glassfish with a J2EE 6 project? The annotations only
work in J2EE 6 otherwise you have to add them to the config XML file.
