Hello Steve,
Does it have to be a managed bean? You could probably chose a class with
static methods instead and have the context listener initialize it upon
application startup. You could then create a really lightweight application
bean extracting its data from that class with static members. Forcing a bean
into existence at application startup can be extremelly hard as JSF
VariableResolver requires a FacesContext instance which is based on a
request that you won't have inside the listener to evaluate a value.
Regards,
~ Simon

Hows that may I ask? A getter needs to be called in order to populate a
List that is DB driven
List theList = null;
public List getTheList(){
if(theList == null)
theList = getTheListFromDB();
return theList;
}
