JSF and Hibernate 3.x

I need some advice regarding Hibernate and JSF.I created a Hibernate Help class and

and I wondering if I should treat this as a manged bean or just as at Util class. If

I should treat this as managed bean should i set the scope to session or application.

<managed-bean>

<managed-bean-name>hiberHelper</managed-bean-name>

<managed-bean-class>foo.bar.HiberHelper</manged-bean-class>

<managed-bean-scope>application or seesion </manged-bean-scope>

</managed-bean->

thanks
