How to remove bean from the view scope?

As Thimo pointed out here >> http://blog.thimojansenit.nl/2011/05/xpages-java-bean-lessons-of-day.html the bean instance can be removed from the scope e.g.

facesContext.getExternalContext().getSessionMap().remove("User");

removes the bean instance called User from Session scope.
If you try to do that for the bean that lives in View scope it does not work. Does anybody knows how to achieve that?

Re: How to remove bean from the view scope?

Try this to get the map:

view.getViewMap()

This is the same as viewScope ( view.getViewMap().equals( viewScope ) -> true ) . The same with facesContext.getExternalContext().getSessionMap() and sessionScope.

If you're working with java code to manipulate the viewScope, then you could go this route. Get the view instance/getViewMap, and manipulate the viewScope accordingly.

I used my XPages API Inspector to find out the above. If you're trying to do stuff with the API that your friend Google can't help you with, it's quite useful to mess about with the API using the inspector
