+#### The User handling
+
+Our application also knows the currently loggedin user which we like to 
+store in the Servlet Session (the login itself is not part of this sample, 
+just consider  this is done via your container or a 
+login page + Servlet Filter upfront).
+
+CDI provides the session scope, which ensures that you will get 
+the same instance of an object per HTTP Session (in a web application).
+
+    :::java
+    @SessionScoped
+    @Named
+    public class User {
+        public String getName() {..}
+        public String getEmail() {..}
+        ..
+    }
+
+By default, CDI beans are not available for use in JSF via the 
+Unified Expression Language. In order to expose it for use by JSF and EL, 
+we simply added the ``@Named`` annotation.
+
+
+#### The Backing Bean
+
+Our web page is implemented with JSF-2. Thus we need a backing bean.
+We use a ``@RequestScoped`` backing bean which means that every request
+will get a new instance of it. Otoh, during the request you will always get
+the same instance.
+
+    :::java
+    @RequestScoped
+    @Named
+    public class MailForm {
+        private @Inject MailService mailService;
+        private @Inject User user;
+    
+        private String text; // + getter and setter
+        private String recipient; // + getter and setter 
+    
+        public String sendMail() {
+            mailService.send(user.getName(), recipient, text);
+            return "messageSent"; // forward to 'message sent' JSF2 page
+        }
+    
+    }
+
+
+#### The JSF-2 page
+
+We now only miss the JSF page itself to make our example work.
+The page is implemented using *facelets*.
+
+    :::xml
+    ...
+    <h:form>
+        <h:outputLabel value="Username" for="username"/>
+        <h:outputText id="username" value="#{user.name}"/><br/>
+        <h:outputLabel value="Recipient" for="recipient"/>
+        <h:inputText id="recipient" value="#{mailForm.recipient}"/><br/>
+        <h:outputLabel value="Body" for="body"/>
+        <h:inputText id="body" value="#{mailForm.body}"/><br/>
+        
+        <h:commandButton value="Send" action="#{mailForm.send}"/>
+    </h:form>
+    ...
+
+This page uses the backing bean from above via it's EL name *mailForm*.
+In the same way it uses the ``@SessionScoped`` *user*.
