You still have the same problem. You want to access the componentBindings component directly NOT through your selectItemFacade. The selectItemFacade isn't accessible (conversation scope not active yet, see above) when the bindings are done. You should refer to the componentBindings directly in the view. binding="#{componentBindings.selectedItemPreview}" Then the component bindings are injected into the selectedItemFacade so you can access the component via that dependency.
