RE: JSF/Spring integration - managed-property problem

[Dhananjay Prasanna]

What version of spring is this?   Can you resolve spring beans from anywhere else? Say from a JSP page if you use the same EL _expression_? If you cant then you know it’s a problem with appfuse and how it’s set up. Also are you using a spring webapp context or a regular spring context (example ClassPathXmlApplicationContext)?   I know that some Servlet 2.3’s (tomcat 4? 5.0?) and below have an issue with the <listener> tags not being loaded before <load-on-startup> servlets  which will result in incorrect wiring to the JSF container (that is if Appfuse uses a WebApplicationContext for spring).   When you say the property is “NEVER set” can you elaborate? Is it a NPE you’re getting—can you maybe post the backing bean (relevant portions thereof)?

I have a JSF managed-bean:     <managed-bean>         <managed-bean-name>searchForm</managed-bean-name>         <managed-bean-class>com.mycompany.SearchForm </managed-bean-class>         <managed-bean-scope>request</managed-bean-scope>         <managed-property>             <property-name>searchManager</property-name>             <value>#{searchManager}</value>         </managed-property>            </managed-bean> And a Spring bean:     <bean id="searchManager" parent="txProxyTemplate">         <property name="target">             <bean class="com.mycompany.SearchManagerImpl">                           <property name="awardDao" ref="awardDao"/>                 <property name="sponsorDao" ref="awardSponsorDao"/>             </bean>         </property>     </bean> I'm using AppFuse, which comes with JSF and Spring pre-wired together (ie. <variable-resolver>org.springframework.web.jsf.DelegatingVariableResolver </variable-resolver> is already there and working, etc). Now AppFuse has lots of JSF managed beans that take Spring bean references as a managed-property. The whole application works fine, and all these other JSF managed beans get their Spring bean references fine and everything is dandy. Sadly, this doesn't work for me. The searchForm JSF bean is instantiated correctly (I use logging) but the managed-property is NEVER set. The setSearchManager function is never called ( log.info as the first line of the setter). I also know that the Spring searchManager bean is created fine (again, using logging), and I have other Spring beans which make use of it perfectly. So my question is: how do I troubleshoot this?
