Class Overview

JSF 1.2 ELResolver that delegates to the Spring root WebApplicationContext, resolving name references to Spring-defined beans.

Configure this resolver in your faces-config.xml file as follows: 

 <application>
   ...
   <el-resolver>org.springframework.web.jsf.el.SpringBeanFacesELResolver</el-resolver>
 </application>
All your JSF expressions can then implicitly refer to the names of Spring-managed service layer beans, for example in property values of JSF-managed beans: 
 <managed-bean>
   <managed-bean-name>myJsfManagedBean</managed-bean-name>
   <managed-bean-class>example.MyJsfManagedBean</managed-bean-class>
   <managed-bean-scope>session</managed-bean-scope>
   <managed-property>
     <property-name>mySpringManagedBusinessObject</property-name>
     <value>#{mySpringManagedBusinessObject}</value>
   </managed-property>
 </managed-bean>
with "mySpringManagedBusinessObject" defined as Spring bean in applicationContext.xml: 
 <bean id="mySpringManagedBusinessObject" class="example.MySpringManagedBusinessObject">
   ...
 </bean>

Returns
  • the Spring BeanFactory (never null)

protected WebApplicationContext getWebApplicationContext (ELContext elContext)

Retrieve the web application context to delegate bean name resolution to.
