Support @Inject for FacesContext

[eclipse-faces-bot]

To get the FacesContext in a managed bean you need to do as follow :

FacesContext ctx = FacesContext.getCurrentInstance();

It would be nice to get this context injected such as :

@resource
private FacesContext ctx;

That's the way EJBs and other components handle their context.

By the way, for managed beans you currently can get this injected. Like this:

@ManagedProperty(value="#

{facesContext}

")
private FacesContext facesContext;

@ManagedProperty(value="#

{requestScope}

")
private Map<String, Object> requestMap;

@ManagedProperty(value="#

{sessionScope}

")
private Map<String, Object> sessionMap;

Granted this is only for Managed Beans. I think the real issue is: How to
leverage injection to minimize the occurrence of painful code such as
FacesContext.getCurrentInstance().getExternalContext().getFlash().get("foo")

I have updated the subject.
