  * PROBLEM DESCRIPTION: A context map in the JSF MyFaces code   *
  *                      is not being cleared when the           *
  *                      ViewScope is destroyed                  *
  ****************************************************************
  * RECOMMENDATION:                                              *
  ****************************************************************
  When destroying the ViewScope, the MyFaces code is not
  clearing a context map that stores Contextual Instances in a
  CDI Context. As a result, instances of CDI ViewScoped beans
  can still be used after moving out of scope.
  

Problem conclusion

• The JSF MyFaces 2.2, and 2.3 code has been updated to
  correctly clean up CDI ViewScoped beans at destroy time.
