Spring JSF integration: how to inject a Spring component/service in JSF managed bean?
(4 answers)
Closed 6 years ago.
I have a webmodule with JSF 2 end Spring 4.3. In a backing bean I use #Autowired for DI of a service of a JAR. In EAR module there are WAR, JAR with #Service Spring and JAR with Spring configuration file.
Below a web.xml snippet:
<context-param>
<param-name>locatorFactorySelector</param-name>
<param-value>classpath:beanRefContext.xml</param-value>
</context-param>
<context-param>
<param-name>parentContextKey</param-name>
<param-value>sharedContext</param-value>
</context-param>
<context-param>
<param-name>contextConfigLocation</param-name>
<param-value>classpath:applicationContext.xml</param-value>
</context-param>
<listener>
<listener-class>org.springframework.web.context.ContextLoaderListener</listener-class>
</listener>
<listener>
<listener-class>org.springframework.web.context.request.RequestContextListener</listener-class>
</listener>
applicationContext.xml:
<context:annotation-config />
<context:spring-configured />
<!-- package of #Service class in jar module in EAR-- >
<context:component-scan base-package="com.ipdb.service" />
beanRefContext.xml:
<bean id="sharedContext" class="org.springframework.context.support.ClassPathXmlApplicationContext"> <constructor-arg>
<list>
<value>spring-ctx.xml</value>
</list>
</constructor-arg> </bean>
When I Use #Autowired(required=null) in a Backing Bean the value is null (there is not any exception). My JSF bean
#Component
#ManagedBean
#ViewScoped
public class PortfolioController {
#Autowired(required = true)
private PortfolioService portfolioService;
...
Can you help me, please.

Answer 1

PortfolioController is considered a JSF context bean adding #Component to #ManagedBean is totally wrong you can't mark same class as bean in two different contexts (JSF and Spring ).
Two solutions either make PortfolioController a spring bean thus remove the #ManagedBean and #ViewScoped or inject PortfolioController via JSF injection annotation #ManagedProperty
#ManagedProperty("#{portfolioService}")
private PortfolioService portfolioService;

Answer 2

if the applicationContext.xml is in your jar dependency, then you need to add asterisk after classpath:
<param-name>contextConfigLocation</param-name>
<param-value>classpath*:applicationContext.xml</param-value>
</context-param>
With the asterisk spring search files applicationContext.xml anywhere in the classpath not only the current project.
