title: Access a managed property in filter
body: <p>In my attempts to find out the reason for the problems stated in this question: <a href="https://stackoverflow.com/questions/13532524/jsf2-slow-page-loading">JSF2 slow page loading</a>, I would like to time a user session filter I use. I've created a timer that is an ApplicationScoped bean.</p>
  
  <p>My question is if it's possible to access this bean as a managed property from the filter. In my other beans I can do this, although in the filter the managed property is always null.</p>
