title: @SessionScoped does not work when adding @Named
body: <p>Consider the following backing bean:</p>
  
  <pre><code>import javax.faces.bean.ManagedBean;
  import javax.faces.bean.SessionScoped;
  
  @ManagedBean
  @SessionScoped
  public class Counter {
  
      int counter;
  
      public Counter() {
          this.counter = 0;
      }
  
      public void Increment() {
          this.counter++;
      }
  
      public void Decrement() {
          this.counter--;
      }
  
      public int getCounter() {
          return this.counter;
      }
  
  }
  </code></pre>
  
  <p>I have created a JSF-page that displays the value of the counter and has two buttons to increment and decrement it. It works as expected. However, when I add the annotation <code>javax.inject.Named</code> to the bean, it does not seem to have session scope anymore. The buttons still work (the click is handled on the server-side), but the value of the counter always remains zero. I am using the annotation because in my real application I need to inject other beans into this one, and this annotation seems to be required (please correct me if I am wrong). What is the reason for this behavior? What can I do to work around it?</p>
