At what point in the lifecycle is a bean declared as "session" scoped get
stored in the session?

Access the bean through a faces context in the servlet:

http://wiki.apache.org/myfaces/AccessFacesContextFromServlet

Then you can use
FacesContext.getApplication().createValueBinding(String).getValue(FacesContext);

Where the "#{beanName}" is string parameter.

As I would assume.

The issue I am seeing in this particular instance is this (I'll try to
shorten the description as details really aren't necessary for now):

View/Code description:  We have a page with links that are generated from
the rows in a bound datatable (initially populated in the constructor of the
bean).  The links point to a servlet which, in turn, acquires the instance
of the bean from the session by name.

Issue:  When clicking on one of these links for the first time when the
session is created, the servlet returns nothing (servlet used to stream a
pdf from a backend source FYI).  This behavior repeats ad infinitum until a
submit() is performed on the form.  Once this submit is performed, clicking
on the links yields a result as expected (PDF shown).

Any thoughts?

When it is created by the variable resolver (first time it is accessed)
