/**
 * ELResolver that checks request, session, and application scopes for existing JSF-managed beans. This allows
 * traditional JSF-managed beans (defined in faces-config.xml) to be resolved through expressions in a flow definition.
 * The preferred approach is to instead use Spring to configure such beans, but this is meant to ease migration for
 * users with existing JSF artifacts. This resolver will delegate to a temporary FacesContext so that JSF managed bean
 * initialization will be triggered if the bean has not already been initialized by JSF.
