So for those interested the ticket is still pending as of 1.2.4 although
I have only tested it to 1.2.3. Spring 2.5 introduced the same
functionality so I was able to unmap my annotated managed beans from
faces-config.xml, leaving the @Resource and @PostConstruct annotations,
and set them up in Spring according to their guide:
http://static.springframework.org/spring/docs/2.5.x/reference/beans.html#beans-annotation-config.
I've actually preferred to map my managed beans in Spring for some time
now so I don't have to worry about maintaining two large xml files. As
of the latest version of Spring and their new annotations there isn't
much for mapping required anymore. Request parameters are pulled via a
utility class:
protected Object getRequestParameter(String parameter) {
FacesContext context = FacesContext.getCurrentInstance();
return
context.getExternalContext().getRequestParameterMap().get(parameter);
}
Thanks,
Stan

Hello all,
I finally in the process of upgrading to MyFaces 1.2 and have made the
decision to drop our use of the Shale preprocess() and prerender()
methods, as well as Shale entirely, and try the @PostConstruct and
@PreDestroy annotations. Soon after I find I'm a victim of bug 1761
(https://issues.apache.org/jira/browse/MYFACES-1761) and that any
solution appears slow to making it into a released version. I was
going to go ahead and build a custom version of MyFaces 1.2.3 with the
proposed patch supplied in the ticket but before I do has it been done
before? i.e. downloadable from the net with source? Or am I missing
something?
Thanks,
Stan
