Call spring controller method from JSF commandbutton - spring

Question

I am trying to integrating spring and JSF(Primefaces).I configured the spring controller as component using #component annotation to be worked as JSF bean but it is not calling the action method of commandbutton.
XHTML File:
<h:form id="productForm" >
<h:panelGrid columns="1">
<p:outputLabel for="name" value="Name: " />
<p:inputText id="name" value="#{cust.customerForm.name}" />
<p:outputLabel for="address" value="address" />
<p:inputNumber id="address" value="#{cust.customerForm.address}" />
<p:outputLabel for="email" value="Email: " />
<p:inputNumber id="email" value="#{cust.customerForm.email}" />
<p:outputLabel for="mobile" value="Mobile: " />
<p:inputNumber id="mobile" value="#{cust.customerForm.mobile}" />
<p:commandButton value="Save" action="#{cust.save}" />
</h:panelGrid>
</h:form>
Spring controller used as JSF Bean:
#Scope(value="session")
#Component(value = "cust")
#ELBeanName(value = "cust")
#Controller
#RequestMapping("/customer")
public class CustomerController {
#Autowired
private CustomerRepository customerRepo;
private List<Customer> customerList;
private Customer customerForm;
public List<Customer> getCustomerList() {
return customerList;
}
public Customer getCustomerForm() {
return customerForm;
}
public void setCustomerForm(Customer customerForm) {
this.customerForm = customerForm;
}
public String save(){
System.out.println("save called:::::::::::");
return("Customer");
}
}
kindly help me out in figuring out what wrong I am doing.

You need to configure the org.springframework.web.jsf.el.SpringBeanFacesELResolver in your faces-config.xml. Otherwise JSF can't find spring beans.
When combining JSF and Spring Boot, you should definetl try Joinfaces which does exaclty this (and some other helpfull stuff)
