Spring beans injected into JSF Managed Beans

Question

Problem Description: My injected Spring bean defined as a Managed-Property to a JSF backing bean is not being instantiated. Its always coming up null when I retreive the Man

Answer 1

First of all and I think this your problem that DelegatingVariableResolver is deprecated in all JSF version after 1.1 and you are using 1.2 so please use this following configuration.

<application> 
<el-resolver> 
org.springframework.web.jsf.el.SpringBeanFacesELResolver 
</el-resolver> 
</application>

Hope it helps.

Answer 2

In addition to using SpringBeanFacesELResolver you can benefit even more from spring by using annotations. So instead of defining your managed bean in xml, just do:

@Controller
public class FooBean {
    @Inject
    private SpringService service;
    ....
}
