Error when using JSF @ManagedProperty(…)?

Question

I am having trouble using @ManagedProperty. As soon as I assign it to a property I get the error below. Apparently the parameter is understood as null, but this is not the wanted case. Why is @ManagedProperty(value = "#{param.menu}") returning null ?

The line I type:

.../spectrum/index.jsf?lang=en&menu=impressum

The code I have:

@ManagedProperty(value = "#{param.menu}")
private String menu;

public String getMenu() {
    return menu;
}

public void setMenu(String menu) {
    this.menu = menu;
}

The error I get:

Error processing request
Context Path:
/spectrum

Servlet Path:
/index.jsf

Path Info:
null

Query String:
lang=en&menu=impressum

EDIT:

The error lays in @SessionScoped. It has to be @RequestScoped to make it work! Thanks @Tiny! Thanks a lot guys! :)
