Access a Managed Bean(of an Application) from another(Different Application) Bean ADF

Make an adfjar out of Application1 UI project and add it to the Dependent libraries of Application2 UI project

//Import the bean where you need to refer it
import com.application1.backing.beans.ExampleBean;
import com.utils.JSFUtils;


//Create an object
public class InitBean {

 public static final String BEAN_ID = "initBean";//name used to register
private ExampleBean exampleBean;

    public InitBean() {
        super();
    }
 public String setParams() {
exampleBean = (ExampleBean)JSFUtils.getManagedBeanValue("exampleBean");
// exampleBean this is the name with which it is registered in the adfc-config with session scope of Application1

//Now we can set the values or call methods of ExampleBean from Application2 InitBean
exampleBean.setEmpName("Vijay");
exampleBean.setDeptName("Technology");

}

}
