I've got two instances of a SessionScoped CDI bean for the same session. I was under the impression that there would be one instance generated for me by CDI, but it generated two. Am I misunderstanding how CDI works, or did I find a bug?

Here is the bean code:

package org.mycompany.myproject.session;

import java.io.Serializable;
import javax.enterprise.context.SessionScoped;
import javax.faces.context.FacesContext;
import javax.inject.Named;
import javax.servlet.http.HttpSession;

@Named @SessionScoped public class MyBean implements Serializable {
    private String myField = null;

    public MyBean() {
        System.out.println("MyBean constructor called");

        FacesContext fc = FacesContext.getCurrentInstance();
        HttpSession session = (HttpSession)fc.getExternalContext().getSession(false);
        String sessionId = session.getId();
        System.out.println("Session ID: " + sessionId);
    }

    public String getMyField() {
        return myField;
    }

    public void setMyField(String myField) {
        this.myField = myField;
    }
}

Here is the Facelet code:

<?xml version='1.0' encoding='UTF-8' ?>

        <title>Test</title>
    </h:head>
    <h:body>
        <h:form id="form">
            <h:inputText value="#{myBean.myField}"/>
            <h:commandButton value="Submit"/>
        </h:form>
    </h:body>
</f:view>
</html>

Here is the output from deployment and navigating to page:
