Yes, that's exactly how I inject spring beans. I am injecting a spring managed bean to a JSF managed bean. What do you mean by defining all beans in spring? Do you suggest I should have spring manage my JSF bean? Is it possible?

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 On 01/18/2008 +0100, "Gerald Müllan" <[EMAIL PROTECTED]> wrote: > 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.
