Looks useful - but how do you inject request parameters? In faces-config.xml, you can do:

id
#{param.id}

Try that again:

<managed-property>
<property-name>id</property-name>
<value>#{param.id}</value>
</managed-property>

>Looks useful - but how do you inject request parameters? In faces-config.xml, you can do:

One could extend a Springs org.springframework.beans.factory.config.PropertyPlaceholderConfigurer which accesses the RequestContext (org.springframework.web.context.request.RequestContextHolder#getRequestAttributes()) to resolve ${xyz}-like properties in the bean.
Of course that would only work for Spring beans with “request”-scope.

[...] Eu estava conversando alguns dias atrás com um colega commiter do projeto MyFaces sobre padrões de projeto, melhores práticas e etc, em um dado momento ele me disse da possibilidade de se definir beans no Spring que podiam ser usados dentro do JSF obtendo o mesmo resultado quando se define um bean no faces-config.xml porém com todo um suporte de AOP e outras funcionalidades que só se encontram no Spring. Maiores detalhes aqui. [...]

Hey there,

nice soltion. In my simple test app it works pretty fine. But I don’t trust it if my app is growing big. Im not a JSF expert, but what about the other stuff that I can configure in the faces-context.xml, managed-bean tag?

Do you know about the MyFaces Orchestra project? It uses a similar solution and has some other stuff… maybe this is the better way?

What do you think?

Hello.
Pretty cool stuff. I followed the steps, but my saveDVD-Method is not called (without error messages). Any ideas why?

I appreciate any hints!

@ Pal
I run into the same problem.
When you change applicationContext.xml,
you have to clean the tomcat work directory.Then it works

@ Cagataycivici
Really cool stuff

What about JSF Bean’s scope? This method only works with JSF bean in request scope, doesn’t it?
If there is a way change JSF bean scope by using this method, how can it be implemented?

Mustafa, you can change the scope of bean at applicationContext.xml.

How will this translate in my applicationContext.xml?

baseBean com.naptosa.web.jsf.BaseBean application visit #{sessionScope.visit}

Will it be something like?

hi,

is there a difference between the request scope of JSF managed and Spring managed beans? here is an example:

i have a backing bean named accountbacking. and this bean has an another bean named account.

i define both them in spring context as:

at JSF(iceface components) page i am using valuechangelistener of an item. whenever this event is invoked these beans are re-created. i have defined init methods to observe this. they both called at page start and event trigger.

then i moved accountbacking bean to faces-config file as:(account bean remains at spring context)

accountbacking com.mypack.AccountBacking request account #{account}

at this time i observed that accountbacking is created at page startup, so does account bean. at valuechangelistener they don’t re-created.

so i have an opinion of difference between jsf and spring request beans. am i missing something?

thanks in advance.

Regards. Engin

Hi,
I don’t whether this is the correct blog to post my problem or not…

this is related to jsf bean scope.my requirement is I have list of records in a datatable with radio button.when ever I select the radio button and when I click on edit link,it should open a modal window and populate the value in that window.I have created a bean which is there in the request.

my problem is
when I click on edit link the bean is created two time so the values are lost. I have to put the bean in request only..how can I stop creating the object for second time.

Thanks.

Excellent post.

One question:

Suppose i am using “Using Spring to Manage JSF Beans”, and my target jsf is different from source jsf. Then how does Spring come to know to which target jsf should it redirect if the target jsf is different?

Since we are not using the conventional managed bean approach here we dont have the definied in faces-config.xml which would give us the details related to the target jsf.

Please advice if my understanding is wrong?
