I am afraid so, though i could be wrong. The List is used by the view
as source for select Items. But yes I can use this a work around.
Thanks man!

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.

Hows that may I ask? A getter needs to be called in order to

return theList;
