JSF View scope in Spring

Question

Is there any scope like JSF @ViewScoped in Spring 3.0? I have an application using JSF+Spring where backing beans are managed by Spring. I didn\'t find any scop

Answer 1

I did something like this without Porting bean to Spring. It's working for me.

@ManagedBean(name="bean")
@ViewScoped  // actual jsf viewscoped only with javax.faces.viewscoped import
public class Bean implements
Serializable {


@ManagedProperty(value="#{appService}")   // Spring Manged Bean and singleton
private transient AppService appService;

  // Getting AppService Object which is singleton in the application during deserialization 
 private void readObject(ObjectInputStream stream) throws IOException, ClassNotFoundException {
          stream.defaultReadObject();
          FacesContext context = FacesContext.getCurrentInstance();
          appService = (AppService)context.getApplication()
                .evaluateExpressionGet(context, "#{appService}", AppService.class);
       }
}

Recently I've created maven artifact which will solve this problem.

See my github javaplugs/spring-jsf repository.

public class ViewScope implements Scope {

public static final String VIEW_SCOPE_CALLBACKS = "viewScope.callbacks";

@Override
public synchronized Object get(String name, ObjectFactory<?> objectFactory) {
Object instance = this.getViewMap().get(name);
if(instance == null){
instance = objectFactory.getObject();
this.getViewMap().put(name, instance);
}
return instance;
}

@SuppressWarnings("unchecked")
@Override
public Object remove(String name) {
Object instance = this.getViewMap().remove(name);
if(instance == null){
Map<String, Runnable> callbacks = (Map<String, Runnable>) this.getViewMap().get(VIEW_SCOPE_CALLBACKS);
if(callbacks != null)
callbacks.remove(name);
}
return instance;
}

/**
* Responsável por registrar uma chamada de destruição ao bean
* que será armazenadano [b]viewMap[/b] da [b]ViewRoot[/b](nossa página que será mostrada)
* @see #getViewMap()

*/  
@SuppressWarnings("unchecked")
@Override
public void registerDestructionCallback(String name, Runnable runnable) {
Map<String, Runnable> callbacks = (Map<String, Runnable>) this.getViewMap().get(VIEW_SCOPE_CALLBACKS);
if(callbacks != null)
callbacks.put(name, runnable);
}

@Override
public Object resolveContextualObject(String key) {
FacesContext facesContext = FacesContext.getCurrentInstance();
FacesRequestAttributes facesResquestAttributes = new FacesRequestAttributes(facesContext);
return facesResquestAttributes.resolveReference(key);
}

@Override
public String getConversationId() {
FacesContext facesContext = FacesContext.getCurrentInstance();
FacesRequestAttributes facesResquestAttributes = new FacesRequestAttributes(facesContext);  
return facesResquestAttributes.getSessionId() + "-" + facesContext.getViewRoot().getViewId();
}

private Map<String, Object> getViewMap(){
return FacesContext.getCurrentInstance().getViewRoot().getViewMap();
}

}

public class ViewScopeCallbackRegistrer implements ViewMapListener {

  @SuppressWarnings("unchecked")
  @Override
  public void processEvent(SystemEvent event) throws AbortProcessingException {
    if (event instanceof PostConstructViewMapEvent) {
      PostConstructViewMapEvent viewMapEvent = (PostConstructViewMapEvent) event;

      UIViewRoot viewRoot = (UIViewRoot) viewMapEvent.getComponent();

      viewRoot.getViewMap().put(
          ViewScope.VIEW_SCOPE_CALLBACKS,
          new HashMap<String, Runnable>()
      );

    } else if (event instanceof PreDestroyViewMapEvent) {
      PreDestroyViewMapEvent viewMapEvent = (PreDestroyViewMapEvent) event;

      UIViewRoot viewRoot = (UIViewRoot) viewMapEvent.getComponent();

      Map<String, Runnable> callbacks = (Map<String, Runnable>) viewRoot
          .getViewMap().get(ViewScope.VIEW_SCOPE_CALLBACKS);

      if (callbacks != null) {
        for (Runnable c : callbacks.values()) {
          c.run();
        }
        callbacks.clear();
      }
    }
  }

  @Override
  public boolean isListenerForSource(Object source) {
    return source instanceof UIViewRoot;
  }
}

I have tried a work around for the Jsf view bean memory leak issue for both Jsf 2.1 & Jsf 2.2. Try the code in following link Memory leak with ViewScoped bean?. It will clear the view bean in session while navigating to next page.
