Thank you to everyone. All of the information is greatly appreciated.
What I did was spent time with the Blue Prints Catalog and I was able to
come up with the following, which solved my problem:
I went from this:
facesContext.getApplication().createValueBinding("#{" +
Constants.VISIT_KEY_SCOPE + Constants.VISIT_KEY +
"}").setValue(facesContext, visit);
To this:
ELContext elcontext = facesContext.getELContext();
ValueExpression ve =
facesContext.getApplication().getExpressionFactory().createValueExpressi
on(elcontext, "#{" + Constants.VISIT_KEY_SCOPE + Constants.VISIT_KEY +
"}", Visit.class);
ve.setValue(elcontext, visit);
Thanks again,
--Todd

Application.createValueBinding to

Sorry I miss read your question. :) Yes I believe that and ELResolver
is the way you need to go in this case. Take a look at the source code
to ApplicationImpl.createValueBinding() for help.
