Hi, Currently the SpringViewControllerScope class has jsf-specific code in it to retrieve the current viewId, so that it can then look up the "view controller bean" for the current view.
This is not desirable as this means that we have: (a) a reference from the spring-specific packages to the jsf-specific packages, and (b) the view-controller-scope is not usable in any environment other than jsf. It seems to me that the cleanest solution is to add a method to the FrameworkAdapter astract class: String getCurrentViewId(); We could provide a default implementation that returns the constant string "defaultView" or similar. This avoids breaking existing FrameworkAdapter subclasses, and theoretically allows users of non-jsf frameworks to have a global view-controller instance by just adding a spring bean with that name. The JsfFrameworkAdapter would of course return FacesContext.getCurrentInstance().getViewRoot().getViewId() and the SpringViewControllerScope would then just call FrameworkAdapter.getInstance().getCurrentViewId(). Are there any objections to this? Regards, Simon
