title: JSF, How to set a property in a different page/backing bean and then navigate to that page?
body: <p>I am using JSF 2.0 and attempting to pass values between different pages in my App.</p>
  
  <p>The setup is as follows:
  I have a page called userSelect that has a backing bean userSelectBacking. On this page I display a list of users that can be selected and submit using an h:commandbutton, when the page is submit the navigation goes to a userEdit page.</p>
  
  <p>I have a page called userEdit, that has a backing bean userEditBacking which displays the information for a user
  and allows that user to be edited.</p>
  
  <p>I would like to pass the user selected from the userSelect page into the userEdit page.
  I am currently using f:setPropertyActionListener to set the user in my userEdit backing from the userSelect page, however when I navigate to the userEdit page, it loses the information I set.</p>
  
  <p>is there a way that I can pass the values between the two pages/backing beans?</p>
  
  <p>thanks</p>
