Since time is an issue for me, I gave up this problem a few days ago and just used a crappy work-around:
In the constructor of SearchForm (the JSF Managed Bean that I tried injecting the Spring bean into) I just threw in:
ServletContext servletContext = getServletContext();
ApplicationContext appContext = WebApplicationContextUtils.getWebApplicationContext(servletContext);
SearchManager searchManager = (SearchManager) appContext.getBean("searchManager");
setSearchManager(searchManager);
Which works.. but again, obviously not following best-practices :-/
If parts of this demo go live I'll need to really figure this problem out to follow best-practices, plus I'm simply curious as to why it doesn't work.. arg.

Re: the # at the end that just means your extensions filter is
probably not binding the _javascript_ properly. All links (generally)
in JSF are just to # on the current page, then _javascript_ traps the
action and converts it to a form POST (because HTML does not support
anything like <a href="" method="post">). The fact that it's not
taking you anywhere (except #) means the _javascript_ did not catch the
click properly. I would guess this is something to do with the way in
which you've setup the filters.

Are you managing your backing beans with spring? Or simply trying
to inject spring beans into JSF beans? Can you show more examples of
your code?
-- Sure. I followed the 1st approach here: http://www.jroller.com/
page/cagataycivici?entry=integrating_jsf_and_spring (nice link)
It's nice. It allows for declarative wiring.
I think the reason they're not injected is because Spring injects the
JSF beans after their constructor has run. I call the dependency *in*
the constructor.
I solved this by calling (in the JSF Constructors) :
if(facade == null){
logger.warn("Facade still null. Cascading to explicit Instantiation.
");
facade = (WebFacade)FacesContextUtils.getWebApplicationContext
(FacesContext.getCurrentInstance()).getBean("webfacade");
}
As for Robert Cambell's issue—I thought of something—the order in
which the listeners occur is important. Make sure
ContextLoaderListener is right at the top.
-- That's the case. (read that before)
