Problem

In JSF 2.0, while using the @ManagedProperty annotation to DI the bean into the field of another bean,

HelloBean.java

@ManagedBean
@SessionScoped
public class HelloBean implements Serializable {
 
	@ManagedProperty(value="#{message}")
	private MessageBean messageBean;

MessageBean.java

@ManagedBean(name="message")
@SessionScoped
public class MessageBean implements Serializable {

It hits the following error message.

An Error Occurred:
Unable to create managed bean helloBean. The following problems were found: – Property messageBean for managed bean helloBean does not exist. Check that appropriate getter and/or setter methods exist.

Solution

To inject the “messageBean” into the field of “helloBean”, the messageBean setter method must be supply.

HelloBean.java

@ManagedBean
@SessionScoped
public class HelloBean implements Serializable {
 
	@ManagedProperty(value="#{message}")
	private MessageBean messageBean;
 
	public void setMessageBean(MessageBean messageBean) {
		this.messageBean = messageBean;
	}

Done, the error message should be gone.
