There must be one ExternalContextFactory instance per web application that is utilizing JavaServer Faces. This instance can be acquired, in a portable manner, by calling:

   ExternalContextFactory factory = (ExternalContextFactory)
    FactoryFinder.getFactory(FactoryFinder.EXTERNAL_CONTEXT_FACTORY);
