3. JSF 2 + Spring Integration

Spring’s bean in Spring Ioc context, and JSF’s managed bean in JSF Ioc context, how to make both working together? The solution is defined Spring’s SpringBeanFacesELResolver in faces-config.xml. Check this official Spring guide.

faces-config.xml

<?xml version="1.0" encoding="UTF-8"?>
<faces-config xmlns="http://java.sun.com/xml/ns/javaee"
	xmlns:xsi="http://www.w3.org/2001/XMLSchema-instance"
	xsi:schemaLocation="http://java.sun.com/xml/ns/javaee 
	http://java.sun.com/xml/ns/javaee/web-facesconfig_2_1.xsd"
	version="2.1">
 
	<application>
		<el-resolver>
    		    org.springframework.web.jsf.el.SpringBeanFacesELResolver
		</el-resolver>
  	</application>
 
</faces-config>

See following 3 examples to inject Spring’s bean in JSF managed bean.

3.1. XML Schema Example

Many developers still prefer to use XML to manage beans. With SpringBeanFacesELResolver, just uses EL ${userBo} to inject Spring’s bean into JSF’s managed bean.

UserBo.java

package com.mkyong.user.bo;
 
public interface UserBo{
 
	public String getMessage();
 
}

UserBoImpl.java

package com.mkyong.user.bo.impl;
 
import com.mkyong.user.bo.UserBo;
 
public class UserBoImpl implements UserBo{
 
	public String getMessage() {
 
		return "JSF 2 + Spring Integration";
 
	}
 
}

UserBean.java – JSF backing bean

package com.mkyong;
 
import java.io.Serializable;
import com.mkyong.user.bo.UserBo;
 
public class UserBean{
 
        //later inject in faces-config.xml
	UserBo userBo;
 
	public void setUserBo(UserBo userBo) {
		this.userBo = userBo;
	}
 
	public String printMsgFromSpring() {
 
		return userBo.getMessage();
 
	}
 
}

applicationContext.xml – Declares userBo bean

<beans xmlns="http://www.springframework.org/schema/beans"
xmlns:xsi="http://www.w3.org/2001/XMLSchema-instance"
xsi:schemaLocation="http://www.springframework.org/schema/beans
http://www.springframework.org/schema/beans/spring-beans-2.5.xsd">
 
	<bean id="userBo" class="com.mkyong.user.bo.impl.UserBoImpl"></bean>
 
</beans>

faces-config.xml – Declares managed bean and inject userBo

<?xml version="1.0" encoding="UTF-8"?>
<faces-config
    xmlns="http://java.sun.com/xml/ns/javaee"
    xmlns:xsi="http://www.w3.org/2001/XMLSchema-instance"
    xsi:schemaLocation="http://java.sun.com/xml/ns/javaee 
    http://java.sun.com/xml/ns/javaee/web-facesconfig_2_0.xsd"
    version="2.0">
 
	<managed-bean>
		<managed-bean-name>user</managed-bean-name>
		<managed-bean-class>com.mkyong.UserBean</managed-bean-class>
		<managed-bean-scope>session</managed-bean-scope>
		<managed-property>
			<property-name>userBo</property-name>
			<value>#{userBo}</value>
		</managed-property>
	</managed-bean>
 
</faces-config>

3.2. Spring Annotations – Auto Scan

This example is using Spring annotations. Injects like a normal bean with @ManagedBean, @Autowired and @Component, it just works as expected.

UserBoImpl.java

package com.mkyong.user.bo.impl;
 
import org.springframework.stereotype.Service;
import com.mkyong.user.bo.UserBo;
 
@Service
public class UserBoImpl implements UserBo{
 
	public String getMessage() {
 
		return "JSF 2 + Spring Integration";
 
	}
 
}

UserBean.java

package com.mkyong;
 
import javax.faces.bean.ManagedBean;
import javax.faces.bean.SessionScoped;
import org.springframework.beans.factory.annotation.Autowired;
import org.springframework.stereotype.Component;
import com.mkyong.user.bo.UserBo;
 
@Component
@ManagedBean
@SessionScoped
public class UserBean{
 
	@Autowired
	UserBo userBo;
 
	public void setUserBo(UserBo userBo) {
		this.userBo = userBo;
	}
 
	public String printMsgFromSpring() {
		return userBo.getMessage();
	}
 
}

applicationContext.xml – Enable the component auto scan

<beans xmlns="http://www.springframework.org/schema/beans"
	xmlns:xsi="http://www.w3.org/2001/XMLSchema-instance" 
	xmlns:context="http://www.springframework.org/schema/context"
	xsi:schemaLocation="http://www.springframework.org/schema/beans
	http://www.springframework.org/schema/beans/spring-beans-3.1.xsd
	http://www.springframework.org/schema/context
	http://www.springframework.org/schema/context/spring-context-3.1.xsd">
 
	<context:component-scan base-package="com.mkyong" />
 
</beans>

Mixed use of both JSF and Spring annotations are working fine, but it look weird and duplicated – @Component and @ManagedBean together. Actually, you can just uses a single @Component, see following new version, it’s pure Spring, and it works!

UserBean.java

package com.mkyong;
 
import org.springframework.beans.factory.annotation.Autowired;
import org.springframework.context.annotation.Scope;
import org.springframework.stereotype.Component;
 
import com.mkyong.user.bo.UserBo;
 
@Component
@Scope("session")
public class UserBean{
 
	@Autowired
	UserBo userBo;
 
	public void setUserBo(UserBo userBo) {
		this.userBo = userBo;
	}
 
	public String printMsgFromSpring() {
		return userBo.getMessage();
	}
 
}

3.3. JSR-330 Annotation

Since Spring 3.0, Spring offer supports for JSR-330 injection standard. Now, you can uses @Inject to replace for @Autowired and @Named for @Component. This is recommended to solution, follow JSR-330 standard make the application more portable to other environments, and it works fine in Spring framework.

UserBoImpl.java

package com.mkyong.user.bo.impl;
 
import javax.inject.Named;
import com.mkyong.user.bo.UserBo;
 
@Named
public class UserBoImpl implements UserBo{
 
	public String getMessage() {
 
		return "JSF 2 + Spring Integration";
 
	}
 
}

UserBean.java

package com.mkyong;
 
import javax.inject.Inject;
import javax.inject.Named;
import org.springframework.context.annotation.Scope;
import com.mkyong.user.bo.UserBo;
 
@Named
@Scope("session") //need this, JSR-330 in Spring context is singleton by default
public class UserBean {
 
	@Inject
	UserBo userBo;
 
	public void setUserBo(UserBo userBo) {
		this.userBo = userBo;
	}
 
	public String printMsgFromSpring() {
		return userBo.getMessage();
	}
 
}

applicationContext.xml – Need component auto scan also

<beans xmlns="http://www.springframework.org/schema/beans"
	xmlns:xsi="http://www.w3.org/2001/XMLSchema-instance" 
	xmlns:context="http://www.springframework.org/schema/context"
	xsi:schemaLocation="http://www.springframework.org/schema/beans
	http://www.springframework.org/schema/beans/spring-beans-3.1.xsd
	http://www.springframework.org/schema/context
	http://www.springframework.org/schema/context/spring-context-3.1.xsd">
 
	<context:component-scan base-package="com.mkyong" />
 
</beans>

4. Demo

Example in 3.1, 3.2 and 3.3 are doing exactly the thing – Inject userBo into JSF bean, just different implementation. Now, create a simple JSF page to show the the result.

default.xhtml

<?xml version="1.0" encoding="UTF-8"?>
<!DOCTYPE html PUBLIC "-//W3C//DTD XHTML 1.0 Transitional//EN" 
"http://www.w3.org/TR/xhtml1/DTD/xhtml1-transitional.dtd">
<html xmlns="http://www.w3.org/1999/xhtml"   
      xmlns:h="http://java.sun.com/jsf/html"
      >
 
    <h:body>
 
    	<h1>JSF 2.0 + Spring Example</h1>
 
 	#{userBean.printMsgFromSpring()}
 
    </h:body>
 
</html>

web.xml

<?xml version="1.0" encoding="UTF-8"?>
<web-app xmlns:xsi="http://www.w3.org/2001/XMLSchema-instance" 
	xmlns="http://java.sun.com/xml/ns/javaee"

	xsi:schemaLocation="http://java.sun.com/xml/ns/javaee 
	http://java.sun.com/xml/ns/javaee/web-app_2_5.xsd" 
	id="WebApp_ID" version="2.5">
 
  <display-name>JavaServerFaces</display-name>
 
  <!-- Add Support for Spring -->
  <listener>
	<listener-class>

  </listener>
 
  <!-- Change to "Production" when you are ready to deploy -->
  <context-param>
    <param-name>javax.faces.PROJECT_STAGE</param-name>
    <param-value>Development</param-value>
  </context-param>
 
  <!-- Welcome page -->
  <welcome-file-list>
    <welcome-file>default.jsf</welcome-file>
  </welcome-file-list>
 
  <!-- JSF Mapping -->
  <servlet>
    <servlet-name>facesServlet</servlet-name>
    <servlet-class>javax.faces.webapp.FacesServlet</servlet-class>
    <load-on-startup>1</load-on-startup>
  </servlet>
  <servlet-mapping>
    <servlet-name>facesServlet</servlet-name>
    <url-pattern>*.jsf</url-pattern>
  </servlet-mapping>
  <servlet-mapping>
    <servlet-name>facesServlet</servlet-name>
    <url-pattern>*.xhtml</url-pattern>
  </servlet-mapping>
 
</web-app>

Done, see output : http://localhost:8080/JavaServerFaces/default.jsf

Hi,excellent work! but i have some problems. JSF2.0′s new scope–ViewScope, how can you define this scope? Because Spring donen’t support this scope, it belongs to JSF2.0 specially.
subrahmanyam May 2, 2013 at 10:38 pm
In the section 3.2 scan with spring annotations, @Component on UserBean makes it as a singleton, thus the UserBean is not threadsafe. Any suggestions on this?

This worked great – thanks for putting this together.

I’m pretty new to Spring/JSF…I’ve followed all of the instructions except that I’m using Jetty which seems to come up fine…my question is how exactly do I demo this ?
What do I put in to the browser ?
If I type in http://localhost:8080/ I simply get the WEB-INF/ and javax.face directory.
Thanx in advance.

i want facebook intigration zip pls will u help me
seitaridis September 5, 2012 at 2:01 pm
I got it. You have declared it user inside de faces-config.xml.
seitaridis September 5, 2012 at 1:59 pm
In the default.xhtml #{user.printMsgFromSpring()} is used, but the bean is called userBo. If you don’t provide a name to an managed bean, it defaults to userBean. Is it a typo?

Hie,
All of your tutorials are very easy to understand. Thanks all of this effort. Kindly can you write a simple integration example with spring webflow 2 and myfaces 2. Spring webflow is also very important topic if you touch this topic it will be very nice.

Flik June 28, 2012 at 11:34 am

There is another approach which follows annotation style as an option.
File : faces-config.xml

&lt;?xml version=&quot;1.0&quot; encoding=&quot;UTF-8&quot;?&gt;
&lt;faces-config
    xmlns=&quot;http://java.sun.com/xml/ns/javaee&quot;
    xmlns:xsi=&quot;http://www.w3.org/2001/XMLSchema-instance&quot;
    xsi:schemaLocation=&quot;http://java.sun.com/xml/ns/javaee 
    http://java.sun.com/xml/ns/javaee/web-facesconfig_2_0.xsd&quot;
    version=&quot;2.0&quot;&gt;
 
	&lt;application&gt;
    	        &lt;el-resolver&gt;
    		    org.springframework.web.jsf.el.SpringBeanFacesELResolver
    	        &lt;/el-resolver&gt;
  	&lt;/application&gt;
&lt;/faces-config&gt;

File : UserBean.java

package com.mkyong;
 
import java.io.Serializable;
 
import com.mkyong.user.bo.UserBo;
 
//DI via JSF managed bean
@ManagedBean
@SessionScoped
@SuppressWarnings(&quot;serial&quot;)
public class UserBean implements Serializable{
 
	//DI via Spring
        @ManagedProperty(name=&quot;userBo&quot;, value=&quot;#{userBo}&quot;)
        UserBo userBo;
 
	public void setUserBo(UserBo userBo) {
		this.userBo = userBo;
	}
 
	public String printMsgFromSpring() {
 
		return userBo.getMessage();
 
	}
 
}

It gives same result as what we done with faces-config.xml.

mabulgu June 2, 2012 at 5:35 pm
Hi,
Thanks for the tutorial. I couldn’t understand why you didn’t add contextConfigLocation context parameter in the web.xml?
contextConfigLocation
classpath:applicationContext.xml
- Eduardo Yáñez November 21, 2012 at 12:50 am
  It isn’t needed since applicationContext.xml is placed at WEB-INF directory.

jp nghiem xuan May 14, 2012 at 12:57 am

Very good example, thank you.

By the way if you deploy on weblogic 10.3.x, you will have to include el jars files (el-api-2-x.jar and el-empl-2-*.jar) in your war lib directory and add welogic.xml that looks like the one below (to supersede weblogic el library with the ones you provided) :

&lt;?xml version=&quot;1.0&quot; encoding=&quot;UTF-8&quot;?&gt;  
&lt;wls:weblogic-web-app xmlns:wls=&quot;http://xmlns.oracle.com/weblogic/weblogic-web-app&quot; 
    xmlns:xsi=&quot;http://www.w3.org/2001/XMLSchema-instance&quot; xsi:schemaLocation=&quot;http://java.sun.com/xml/ns/javaee http://java.sun.com/xml/ns/javaee/web-app_2_5.xsd http://xmlns.oracle.com/weblogic/weblogic-web-app http://xmlns.oracle.com/weblogic/weblogic-web-app/1.3/weblogic-web-app.xsd&quot;&gt;
 
    &lt;wls:context-root&gt;YOUR_APPLICATION_CONTEXT_NAME&lt;/wls:context-root&gt;
 
    &lt;container-descriptor&gt;
       &lt;prefer-application-packages&gt;
         &lt;package-name&gt;com.sun.el.*&lt;/package-name&gt;
         &lt;package-name&gt;javax.el.*&lt;/package-name&gt;
       &lt;/prefer-application-packages&gt;
    &lt;/container-descriptor&gt;
 
    &lt;/wls:weblogic-web-app&gt;

Don’t forget to change web.xml and add:

com.sun.faces.expressionFactory
com.sun.el.ExpressionFactoryImpl

Hope this helps.

I have tryed that. And it did not started (as i hope that wil be very simple)
I use eclipse 3.7.2
JBoss 7.1
and my problem is following :

??? ????? ?????? April 23, 2012 at 2:04 pm
1.Don’t forget to add jstl.jar
=> if pb will persist ,Try to use Tomcat or GlassFish.

kannan June 13, 2012 at 12:37 pm

Just Change the context param in web.xml like below and it should work.

&lt;context-param&gt;
        &lt;param-name&gt;contextConfigLocation&lt;/param-name&gt;
        &lt;param-value&gt;/WEB-INF/applicationContext.xml&lt;/param-value&gt;
    &lt;/context-param&gt;

MMoastafa March 5, 2013 at 8:25 pm
I tried similar example and got the same error. can you please let me know how did you resolve it?

Mahmoud Saleh September 18, 2011 at 10:29 pm
nice example, but i was wondering what are the advantages/disadvantages of this approach and using the spring webflow with jsf ?
Tarun Sapra July 18, 2011 at 1:27 pm
Hello Mkyong,
In faces-config xml you declared managed bean xml configuration, it’s no longer required instead you can use spring web scopes. @Scope(“request”)& @Scope(“session”)
- Srikanth March 7, 2012 at 2:54 pm
  You can do like in that way, but u may use this procedure it would be some better and understandable manner.

Hello MKYong,
Do you also have a working example/ideas for integration of JSF and Spring MVC ?
Thanks,

  You need to use the latest EL to support method expression in JSF 2.0, view the dependencies in above pom.xml file.

  Your error problem is same with me. In my way, i replace application server from tomcat to be glassfish and run again, everything is ok. just try it..

    Latest Glassfish comes with latest EL library, which is lacking in Tomcat.

  I changed UserBean methd printMsgFromSpring to getMsgFromSpring and in default.xhtml printMsgFromSpring() to msgFromSpring and it worked. But it is probably not in jsf 2 way.

  I got the same problem. I use Weblogic 10.3, and have el-impl-2.2.jar and other .jar files in the project’s classpath.

Hi,
I am using Spring in my Jsf project but I have a problem. As I know, for Jsf2.* you can redirect from one page to another just returning the name of the page as string. But I couldn’t make it. I am returning the name of the page, but it does nothing. I put a navigation rule into faces-config.xml, but it doesn’t for it too. Could you help me for at this problem.
Thanks…
