Serialization ManagedProperty

We have the following problem with JSF @ViewScopedand @ManagedProperty: we have ManagedBean, which basically look like this:

@ManagedBean
@SessionScope
public class SessionConfig implements Serializable
{
    // ...
}

and

@ManagedBean
@ViewScope
public class SomeController implements Serializable
{
    @ManagedProperty( value="#{sessionConfig}" )
    private SessionConfig sessionConfig;
    // public getter and setter

    // ...
}

The controller is serialized after processing the request, as expected. I expected that it @ManagedProperty sessionConfigwould be processed specifically in serialization, in particular, that after deserialization it would be “re-enabled”. However, it turns out that after deserialization sessionConfigis just an outdated clone of the actual SessionConfig-Bean.

Questions:

• Is this expected behavior?
• What can we do to make the JSF reevaluate @ManagedPropertyafter deserialization?

We are currently “manually” re-evaluating all managed properties after deserialization. It works, but obviously does not seem to be correct.

Thank!
