In JSF 1.2, I used to do the following in my jsp page

<%
 MyClass myClassObj = (MyClass) session.getAttribute("myClass");

  if (myClassObj == null)
  {
    myClassObj = new MyClass();
    myClassObj.setType("1");
    session.setAttribute("myClass", myClassObj);
  }
%>

However, now I am working in JSF 2.0 where xhtml pages are used instead of jsp.
So scriptlets can't be used.

Is there some way in which this can still be achieved in xhtml?

You're probably better off posting this in the JavaEE forum.

Moved to Java EE.

Code such as that are best moved to the backing bean. The only functional code per say should be mechanism controlling your layout.

Maybe try something like

<c:set var="myClass.type" value="1" />
