How to inject entire managed bean via @ManagedProperty annotation?

Question

I\'m trying to inject entire JSF managed bean into another managed bean by means of @ManagedProperty annotation (very similar to Possible to inject @ManagedBean

Answer 1

You need to add setters and getters

@ManagedBean
public class Foo {
  @ManagedProperty(value = "#{bar}")
  private Bar bar;
  //add setters and getters for bar
  public Bar getBar(){
      return this.bar;
  }
  public void setBar(Bar bar){
      this.bar = bar;;
  }
}

When the FacesContext will resolve and inject dependencies it will use setters injection so appropriate setters/getters should be there.otherwise it won't find the property
