Hello,
most probably he's injecting the Spring bean using managed-properties,
i.e. I think his managed bean definition looks like the following:
<managed-bean>
<managed-bean-name>...</managed-bean-name>
...
<managed-property>
<property-name>dataService</property-name>
<value>#{dataService}</value>
</managed-property>
</managed-bean>
However, there's a bug in MyFaces as it calls methods being annotated
with @PostConstruct before all properties have been injected. I have
already created a JIRA Issue, but I haven't got the time to fix this bug
so far. Therefore I'd recommend you to define alle your beans in Spring
directly, just as Gerhard has already mentioned.
regards,
Bernhard

Hi,
Do you have the managed bean in faces-config.xml defined oder via
spring configuration file?
MyFaces should not be responsible for injecting a spring bean. This is
done when using Spring beans only.
I would suggest to define it directly in Spring an use Spring`s
init-method approach.
cheers,
Gerald

In my managed bean, I have a service bean configured and injected by spring
as in the following,
private DataService dataService;
@PostConstruct
public void retrieveData() {
dataService.retrieveData();
}
Public void setDataService(DataService dataService) {
this.dataService = dataService;
}
Using RI, dataService is already injected before retrieveData method is
called. However, this is not the case with myfaces. It seems that spring
injection happens much later resulting in NPE thrown in the method. Is this
expected with myfaces inplementation or a bug?
