Backing Bean Question - Please Help

[Jay Kaul <Ja...@notes.ntrs.com>]

We have created  a parent JSP page which references a Backing Bean (in 
session scope). The reason is the parent maintains a list of children and 
needs to keep track of changes on the child pages. The child pages(in 
tabbed-panes) refer to a Common-Child Backing Bean(again in session 
scope). 

The problem is as follows: 

1) The child pages as mentioned are sharing the Backing Bean. Is there a 
way for each child page to Invoke a new Instance of the Backing Bean, so 
that if the child pages share same properties, they could have different 
values. 
2) If the two child pages are similar (same JSP's) but different 
instances(included twice in the parent). The Backing Bean just replicates 
the data in both JSP's. Is there a way to say, Yes we are creating a child 
which the EL already knows about, but this time it is a Different Instance 
of the Same Backing Bean.

I am not sure if MyFaces or RI supports Multiple Instances of Backing 
Beans.

Any help will be highly appreciated.

Thanks and Regards,
