It sounds like you have some scoping issues if the value of a session bean property is being set by request data. Keep in mind that the value of id for B will be set when B is created and will not be updated just because the value of id for A is updated. Perhaps it makes more sense to have A injected into B and have B get the id from the instance of A.
